Volunteers noms open
Nominations are now open for the 2021 Volunteering Awards, which celebrate the extraordinary efforts of Victoria’s hard-working volunteers.
The awards are an opportunity to recognise the incredible support volunteers have given to others during a difficult year. Whether it’s delivering essential food relief and medical supplies or helping seniors video-call loved ones, volunteers are the backbone of the community.
The efforts of volunteers, leaders and organisations will be recognised across eight awards categories, including for leadership, service, impact and teamwork.
A highlight is the Premier’s Volunteer of the Year, who is recognised with the Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Award.
The winner will receive a $10,000 prize to donate to a not-for-profit organisation of their choice.
This year Volunteering Victoria will combine its awards with the Victorian
Government’s Premier’s Volunteer Champions Awards.
Nominations for the 2021 Volunteering Awards will close on January 14, 2022.
Finalists will be announced on February 23, 2022, and winners will be acknowledged at an official ceremony in March 2022.
