The Premier’s Community Volunteering Awards are to promote and celebrate the range and diversity of volunteering activities in Victoria, including volunteering through community organisations as well as community participation in less formal settings. They recognise the wide range of community and personal benefits of volunteering and community participation. They also recognise and celebrate innovation and good practice in a changing volunteering and community participation environment, and provide examples of innovation and good practice to the wider community and not-for-profit sector.
