Office for Volunteers
Formed in 2001, the United Nation’s Year of the Volunteer, the Office for Volunteers has developed many innovative programs, strategies and resources to help community groups retain, recruit, induct and train their volunteers.
The office has a key role in implementing the Advancing the Community Together (ACT) Partnership, an agreement between the voluntary sector and the South Australian Government to work together for the development of volunteerism in South Australia.
It also provides advice to the Minister for Volunteers on legislation affecting the volunteer sector and has responsibility for the volunteering target set in South Australia's Strategic Plan - T5.6 Volunteering: Maintain the high level of volunteering in South Australia at 50% participation rate or higher.
