Volunteering Victoria, in partnership with the Victorian Government, is producing a Victorian State of Volunteering Report. The report is a flagship initiative of the Victorian Volunteering Strategy.
This research will help to demonstrate the many social, cultural, and economic benefits that volunteering contributes to Victorians.
A strong evidence base allows governments and organisations to make more informed decisions which better reflect the impact of volunteering.
It is estimated that over 58,0000 people volunteer in the sport and recreation sector in Victoria each year. These figures indicate that volunteering in the sport and recreation sector is greater that the number of volunteers attracted to the health and social sectors.
As leaders of volunteers, it is important the sporting clubs, leagues and active recreation groups share their insights by completing the survey.

The survey closes on Thursday 4th June.
Sports Central will be working with clubs on the Leading from the Front – Alcohol and Other Drugs Safety – We All Win pilot project over the next few months. Leading from the Front is a community sport health promotion initiative with the aim of raising awareness of health, safety and wellbeing issues across the Central Highlands.
Sports Central are excited to be supporting the delivery of Inclusive Sport in Schools in partnership with Special Olympics Australia. The program improves the health and wellbeing outcomes of students with an intellectual disability and autism through the delivery of inclusive sport and physical activity in a school setting.
