The Local Government, Small Business and Customer Service Committee is conducting an Inquiry into volunteering in Queensland, and public consultation is now open. This is a crucial opportunity for sporting organisations, clubs, peak bodies, and local governments to share their experiences and insights to help shape the future of volunteering in Queensland.
