The value of volunteering
In 2010, over 36% of Australian adults (6.1 million people)
participated in formal volunteering (through an organisation)
and 49% provided informal assistance to people outside their
own household.
Volunteers freely give their time to support the community and
the people who need them. Volunteers are the people who step
up and fill the gaps in the system – due to resource limitations,
emergencies or otherwise.
The volunteering sector is critical to civil society. Volunteering
underpins the delivery of social and community services in our
nation, and without volunteers many services (such as those
funded by DSS) simply could not function.
