Volunteering is a significant part of Victoria’s identity and at the heart of our communities.

Victoria is home to around 3.3 million people who volunteer every year, and we want to celebrate their contributions. Join them in accessing the amazing benefits of volunteering like connecting with others, building skillsets and gaining confidence.

National Volunteer Week 2026 celebrates the commitment of current volunteers and invites everyone to see how volunteering can fit in their lifestyle.

Volunteering is the perfect way to get involved, meet new people and forge purposeful connections. No matter your schedule, there’s a volunteer role that’s right for you.
