National Volunteer Week ( 21–27 May 2018) is an annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation's volunteers.


Australia is a giving nation with almost six million people involved in volunteer work. Research shows that 96 per cent of those who donate their time for the greater good find more happiness in life.  But for jobseekers struggling to find work, volunteering can often lay the foundation for future employment.
