What is the Supporting Spontaneous Volunteers Program?

The program was developed in response to the 2022 NSW Flood Inquiry’s recommendation that the NSW Government create a program to support better coordination of community efforts to save life and property during a disaster.

The Program aims to support communities and volunteers to be better prepared, supported, coordinated and mobilised to respond to disaster events.

The target group for projects funded under the Program are informal volunteers who may operate as individual spontaneous volunteers or as part of an emergent group of people who come together to respond to a particular challenge.
