Established in 1989, National Volunteer Week is the premier celebration of volunteers and volunteerism in Australia.
More than six million people in Australia volunteer through organisations across the nation. Millions more volunteer informally in their local communities, helping neighbours and strangers, especially in times of crisis and adversity.
National Volunteer Week 2025 celebrates the power of volunteering to bring people together with the theme ‘Connecting Communities’.
This year we light the building red to acknowledge the spirit of connection and the incredible impact volunteers have in building thriving and inclusive communities, not only at the Old Treasury Building, but in all volunteer organisations.
