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.
