Volunteering
Volunteering is an incredibly positive, enjoyable and rewarding way to be involved in sport.
Sport volunteering is for everyone and is linked to a wide range of health, social and community benefits. Sport provides opportunities to volunteer for something that suits your individual needs, interests, and availability across a breadth of roles and tasks. With an estimated 2.9 million Australians volunteering in sport annually, volunteers are the heart of our sport sector and are respected and recognised as a critical role in the delivery of sport in Australia.
The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is committed to supporting the sector to enable more people to volunteer in sport and to enhance the sport volunteering experience through a reimagined vision for the future of sport volunteering (The Vision).
