Tasmanian Volunteering Awards 2026

We are delighted to share with you the winners of the 2026 Tasmanian Volunteering Awards, announced in a wonderful ceremony hosted this afternoon at The Old Woolstore, Hobart.

A huge thank you to all the very special finalists, supporters, sponsors, nominators and judges who have made the 11th annual Tasmanian Volunteering Awards such an inspiring celebration of volunteers across Tasmania. 

“Together, the winners stories demonstrate how volunteering changes lives—by creating inclusive opportunities, supporting vulnerable women and children, strengthening organisations, supporting  and building safer, more connected communities across Tasmania.”

“Volunteers don’t ask for recognition, but today is about saying thank you, not just to our winners, but to every Tasmanian who gives their time to make a difference.”​​​​​ – Volunteering Tasmania CEO Mel Blake

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. Each individual, group, and organisation nominated deserves to be celebrated for the significant role their contributions play in shaping the Tasmanian way of life.
