Volunteering Victoria is the state peak body for volunteering. 

We focus on strengthening and ensuring the resilience of communities through our work in volunteering.

We support and promote volunteering and advocate for the development of sustainable community hubs in Victoria.

We aim to -

  • Increase levels of volunteering in Victoria  
  • Build the capacity of communities to manage sustainable volunteering support services        
  • Raise awareness about volunteering 

Our five core service programs are - 

  1. Communication and Information 
  2. Training and Education
  3. Network development
  4. Advocacy
  5. Promoting volunteering

We are a member-based, not-for-profit, non-government organisation.  

We are funded by the state and federal governments and we also receive private funding and donations for specific programs. 

We have a small, core group of paid and voluntary staff.

A voluntary professional board of management leads the organisation’s governance. 

We are one of eight state/territory members of the national peak body, Volunteering Australia.

Volunteering Victoria is one of the founding members of VA, along with the other state bodies.

Our History

We trace our beginnings as far back as 1973. 

As the ‘Volunteer Centre of Victoria’, we were incorporated in 1987 and established as the state peak body representing the volunteer movement at that time. 

In 1997, we became Volunteering Victoria Inc.  

Our Members

Our members are volunteer-involving not-for-profit and community organisations. They represent a broad, cross-section that reflects the diversity of the sector. 

Commonwealth and state government departments, local governments, state peak organisations, local sports clubs and religious groups as well as those in health, arts, environment, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD), indigenous, youth, disabled, and aged care are represented in our membership base.
