Each year, on the Thursday closest to International Volunteer Day, Volunteering WA hosts the annual garden party in the stunning lower gardens of Government House. This is a beautiful event that allows volunteers to connect with each other, and different organisations.

With over 523,000 formal volunteers in Western Australia, International Volunteer Day is a day for mass celebration. Volunteer involving organisations celebrate the contributions of thousands of volunteers who support their programs and services to the community.

The 2023 Garden Party is proudly supported by The McCusker Charitable Foundation.
