Volunteers in Sport :: What's Happening
Whether they're driving to-and-from the pool every morning or covering the action as a journalist at the Commonwealth Games, volunteers play a crucial role in supporting the sporting landscape in Australia. Sadly, too often volunteers are under-resourced and struggle to get the support to excel in their role. We're working to make sure that sporting volunteers are recognised for their efforts, rewarded for their contributions and empowered to keep our sporting landscape thriving.
