As part of the Volunteering in Australia research, this report provides an important contribution to the evidence base on contemporary volunteering to inform the development of the National Strategy for Volunteering. The focus of this report is the organisational perspective. We explore the characteristics of volunteer involving organisations and the challenges they are facing. The research draws on a literature review and several data sources. New data collection was undertaken through a survey and focus groups during May-June 2022.

The report draws its insights from two extensive surveys within the volunteering sector. The first, a Public Survey, involved a random sample of 1,000 WA residents, while the second, a Volunteer Manager survey, included 613 WA volunteer managers from across metropolitan, regional and remote locations. The findings underscore the resilience of the volunteering sector and emphasise the substantial benefits it brings to WA. In addition, Western Australia benefits from strong connection with corporate volunteering which further adds to this significant volunteer contribution. The report provides some high-level information from Volunteering WA’s Corporate Volunteering Program.
