Who in your life is creating positive change through volunteering?

Volunteers are the backbone of our community, offering their time and skills for the benefit of others, for personal enjoyment, and to foster social and community connections. We are proud to introduce NEW award categories that are nationally consistent and inclusive, open to volunteers from all industries.

Nominating a volunteer goes beyond acknowledging an individual; it reinforces our collective culture, a culture where each act of giving contributes to the narrative of community support in Tasmania. By nominating a volunteer , you help showcase the significant role their contributions play in shaping the Tasmanian way of life.
