Who should participate in this survey?

Leadership in volunteering takes many forms, including the direct management of volunteers or programs; the strategic direction and governance of organisations; sector development and representation by peak bodies; research and advocacy; and the stewardship role that governments can play.

This survey is intended for anyone who has an interest in the strategic or operational leadership of volunteering, to seek feedback and a wide range of views on how best to support and strengthen volunteering into the future.

Please note: To help you answer questions 8 - 15 of this survey, it may be helpful to first read the Priorities for strengthening volunteering framework (available in the document library) that was developed by the former Ministerial Council for Volunteers in 2018.
