Overview

The Victorian government has commissioned Volunteering Victoria to develop a report that provides new insights on the economic, social and cultural benefits that volunteering brings to Victoria; along with a snapshot of volunteering characteristics, barriers and motivations.

Volunteering provides significant benefits for Victoria, and supports the health, social and economic recovery from the pandemic. In 2019, the value of volunteering to Victoria was $58.1 billion in 2019. This includes $19.4 billion in replacement labour costs and an $8.2 billion contribution to Victoria’s Gross State Product; and represents a return on investment of $3.70 for every dollar invested.
