National Rural Volunteering Roadmap
Rural Volunteering Vulnerability Explorer
Welcome to the Rural Volunteering Vulnerability Explorer, a key deliverable of the
National Rural Volunteering Roadmap project funded by the Australian Research Council
Linkage Projects scheme (LP200301043).
This four-year project seeks to generate new knowledge of the structural,
demographic, organisational and personal factors affecting the sustainability
of rural volunteering in Australia. Evidence suggests that rural volunteers,
volunteer-involving organisations (VIOs) and rural communities are facing
several challenges affecting the sustainability of volunteering in rural areas.
In an Australian first, the Rural Volunteering Vulnerability Explorer
provides a visual map of volunteering vulnerability following a comprehensive
literature review and expert analysis of the factors affecting volunteering
supply and demand in rural areas.
The resulting Explorer spatially maps volunteering vulnerability based on
10 indicators of supply and demand and visually depicts this for all parts
of Australia. Based on the collective weighting of indicators
(refer to the downloadable Methodology report for more detail), the Explorer will discern
if a region is marginally vulnerable, moderately vulnerable or most vulnerable
to volunteering shortages. The Explorer is interactive, free to use and allows
you to search for regions based on postcode or town name. This resource
provides the first ever national picture of volunteering demand and supply
providing a valuable tool for volunteering peak bodies, VIOs, government
and communities.

This project acknowledges the people who are the Traditional Custodians of
the land and pays respect to the Elders, past and present, and extends that
respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We acknowledge and thank our project partners for their support of this
project and for their considered input into the design of the Explorer:
