Volunteering in Australia: A Snapshot

In 2023, the Federal Government released the National Strategy for Volunteering. It identified:

• 56.7% of Australians volunteer either formally or informally
• 83% of volunteer involving organisations need more volunteers
• The rate of volunteering has been gradually declining from 1/3 adults in 2010 to ¼ in 2022.
• A significant mismatch exists between the volunteering opportunities being offered and what volunteers are interested in.
