Refreshed National Standards for Volunteer Involvement

The National Standards for Volunteer Involvement have been refreshed to ensure they are contemporary and inclusive of the diversity of volunteering and volunteers.

The National Standards are a best practice framework to guide volunteer involvement. The development of the refreshed National Standards was informed by a sector wide consultation process conducted across each state and territory in 2023.

All organisations and groups can implement the refreshed National Standards at any time. The state and territory Volunteering Peak Bodies are leading the implementation.

The National Standards for Volunteer Involvement (2023) are the intellectual property of Volunteering Australia.
They are recognised within Australia as the best practice framework for volunteer involvement.
