Following a rigorous and inspiring 12-month co-design journey, Australia has a new shared agenda for a reimagined future for volunteering. The National Strategy for Volunteering, co-created by stakeholders from across the volunteering ecosystem, provides a blueprint for the next ten years that will enable volunteering in Australia to thrive.
"The National Strategy for Volunteering was designed and will be owned by all of us. It presents our collective vision for a future where volunteering is at the heart of Australian communities."
The National Strategy for Volunteering includes the following:
- A vision for volunteering to be achieved over the National Strategy for Volunteering's ten-year timeframe.
- Three focus areas, which include the aims of the National Strategy for Volunteering.
- Eleven strategic objectives, which detail the work required to achieve the vision and aims.
- A timeline for phased implementation.
