National Volunteer Week 2025

With the theme ‘Connecting Communities’, National Volunteer Week 2025 celebrates the spirit of connection and the incredible impact volunteers have in building thriving and inclusive communities. The work we do at DUSA would not be possible without the amazing efforts of our student volunteers. Whether it’s events, sports, trips or clubs – our amazing crew contribute their time and effort to creating the amazing and inclusive community we have at DUSA.

• DUSA Sports Ambassadors – who play a pivotal role in co-creating social sporting events across all campuses.
• Sports Team Managers – who support the Deakin Dragons to compete at Victorian and Interstate competitions such as UniSport Nationals taking place on the Gold Cost in Sep/Oct 2025.
