Benefits of Membership

As the peak body, Volunteering WA champions the volunteering community and provides support to volunteer involving organisations (VIOs) throughout the State. Becoming a member gives you access to a great range of member benefits and services. However, it is about more than this.

It’s about recognising the essential contribution of volunteers and volunteering in our communities as well as your own organisation.  It’s about working together to harness the power of volunteering, to promote stronger, healthier more inclusive communities. It’s about providing a collective voice to our leaders and decision makers on key sector issues.

When you become a member, you join a network of hundreds of organisations who are the heart and driving force of their communities, and support Volunteering WA in working towards a future where everyone is empowered and inspired to make a difference.

Join us, get involved and help shape the future of our State.
