The SA Volunteer Awards celebrate the exceptional contributions of our state’s outstanding volunteers — the people and organisations that make South Australia's communities stronger, kinder and more connected.
Each year, the public is invited to nominate outstanding volunteers across five award categories — recognising the remarkable contributions of individual volunteers, volunteer managers, community groups and businesses from across the state.
An independent judging panel reviews all nominations, assessing nominees on their commitment, service levels and positive impact.
The awards are presented by Volunteering SA&NT with support from the South Australian Department of Human Services.
2026 recipients
The 2026 South Australian Volunteer Awards were held at Government House, during National Volunteer Week (18 to 24 May 2026).
Awards were presented to individuals and groups in 5 categories.
