If you know a volunteer who goes above and beyond to support their sport and community, nominate them for the 2026 ASC Sport Volunteer of the Year Award and help shine a spotlight on their contribution.

We'd also appreciate your support in spreading the word. To help, we've created a marketing toolkit featuring ready-to-use assets, including social media graphics, banners, imagery and key messaging that you can share or tailor for your own audiences.

Together, let's celebrate the volunteers who keep Australian sport moving.
