 A Volunteers Union

Volunteers are the glue that holds our community together - in schools, sporting clubs, neighbourhood groups, service clubs, environmental and arts groups, and in a myriad of community organisations.

Yet there is no national association or union of volunteers in Australia. There are plenty of funded councils on volunteering, but these represent organisations who use volunteers, not volunteers themselves.

Call for Expressions of Interest

Expressions of interest are invited from Australians from all walks of life who see the need for an association or union of volunteers. Its role would be to enable volunteers to speak for themselves about their contributions to society, their information and support needs, and their hopes for making as big an impact as possible with their available time.

Membership would be free and open to voluntary contributors to society in all fields of activity.

CLICK HERE to express your interest. Tell us what you think. Offer your suggestions on priorities, activities and roles of a volunteers union in Australia.
