Volunteering Tasmania
As Tasmania’s Peak body for volunteering we make a positive impact on volunteerism, and as a result, we help to improve and sustain our wonderful community and the people within it.
Volunteering is proven to have a positive effect on mental and physical health, as well as being a potential pathway to employment.
