Why It Matters

Why Volunteering Matters

Volunteering isn't just vital to the running of community sport — it's also incredibly rewarding.

  • Volunteers are happier, healthier, and sleep better than those who don't volunteer.
  • 96% of volunteers say helping others “makes people happier”.
  • 95% report improved wellbeing.
  • Helping others creates a “helper's high”, a powerful physical and emotional boost.
  • Even a small amount of volunteering can improve mood and happiness.
  • Ongoing volunteering is linked to better mental health.
  • Acts of kindness and compassion are strongly connected to wellbeing and longevity.
  • Helping others provides purpose, confidence, social connection, and a sense of belonging.
  • Volunteers contribute around $200 billion to the Australian economy every year.
  • The number of volunteers in Australia has doubled since the mid-1990s.
  • Young people volunteering has grown significantly over the same period.
  • Out of 600,000 not-for-profit organisations in Australia, only 60,000 have paid staff — volunteers truly keep community sport alive.
