  4. State of Volunteering Report 2012 • What are the volunteering demographics projected to look like in Tasmania within the next 10, 20 ad 38 years to 2050? • What challenges and opportunities do these projected changes raise for volunteering in Tasmania in the next 5, 10 and 20 years? • What recommendations can we make to policy makers, service providers, volunteer involving organisations, businesses and researchers in Tasmanian to respond to these challenges and opportunities?

  7. By age, volunteers will look like this after 2023

  8. By 2032 46% of volunteers aged 55+ (up from 37% in 2010)

  9. Insights – Interviews with 48+ Lives are based around: • Giving; • Maintaining Independence; • Active Aged Care.

  10. Principles • Volunteers in key to social inclusion. • Baby boomers want more challenging roles & opportunities to use skills and experience. • All age groups need to be engaged. • Organisations need support to plan.

  11. Recommendations on Ways Forward Managing Volunteerism 1. Collaborate and establish sustainable networks to plan ahead for volunteering and volunteer-delivered services. 2. Develop the human resources management capacity of volunteer- involving organisations to develop and maintain volunteers as an integrated part of the organisations’ workforce. 3. Increase investment in volunteer management. 4. understand and assess the impacts, value and outcomes of volunteering. 5. Build evidence-informed practice through continuous research and planning.

  12. Recommendations on Ways Forward Volunteer Engagement 6. Ensure communities have a continuous supply of meaningful volunteering roles that meet the needs of the diversity of people living within and visiting Tasmania. 7. Build on the knowledge–base of how to reach and engage those in our communities who are harder to reach in volunteering and volunteer- delivered services. 8. Create a sustainable volunteering culture within Tasmanian communities.

  13. Trailblazer – Tasmanian Fire Service • 4700 volunteers. • Wide variety of volunteer roles. • Structured approach to recruitment and retention. • More flexible and diverse roles. • Developing leadership. • Matching skills to roles

  14. What’s Next • This year, the focus will turn to planning for the future of Tasmanian volunteerism through putting the recommendations into practice. • VT plans to take the first step in setting this process in motion through developing an action plan and starting conversations with organisations and stakeholders who will play a key role in implementing the recommendations.
