This week, 19–25 May 2025, is National Volunteers Week in Australia, which recognises the contributions of volunteers and encourages those not currently involved to give it a go. 

Volunteer work can be a meaningful way to give back to the community and strengthen your chances of finding a job. It helps you build valuable skills, expand your network, fill any gaps in your work history and gain experience in areas that you are interested in. It can also give your confidence a real boost. All of this makes a big difference when it comes to applying for jobs.
