About
Community sport and recreation relies on more than 1.7 million volunteer Australians each year. Sport and recreation organisations, along with the volunteers who create and sustain them, make a vital contribution to the community. Sport and recreation is just one of several sectors in the economy that benefits from volunteers.
However, many clubs and sporting organisations need more volunteers. The information on this website will assist clubs and organisations that are looking for more volunteers. It will also assist clubs and organisations to look after their existing volunteers so they continue to stay involved. For clubs that do not have enough volunteers, recruiting is an important first step. Once the club has recruited volunteers, it needs to look after them so they remain with the organisation. This may include appointing a coordinator to look after volunteers, or recognising and rewarding them.
