Voices from the Field: Supporting Volunteers to Succeed

What helps volunteers feel confident, supported and able to stay?

Recorded in Busselton during National Volunteer Week 2026, this local panel conversation brought together volunteer managers, community leaders and people with lived experience to explore what meaningful volunteer support can look like in practice.

Hosted in collaboration with the Busselton Dunsborough Volunteer Centre, the discussion shares honest reflections, local examples and practical ideas for building strong volunteer teams, creating inclusive and welcoming environments, supporting skill development, and navigating challenging or sensitive situations.

This episode is for anyone involved in a volunteer-led group, community organisation or peer support setting who wants to strengthen how they support and value volunteers.
