Every day volunteers in our community are making a difference. They are energetic and enthusiastic and do amazing things.

Volunteers deserve to have their efforts recognised and appreciated. To assist organisations to demonstrate their appreciation the Office for Volunteers have developed two levels of certificates which can be awarded accordingly.

South Australian Volunteer’s Certificate of Recognition

This certificate has been designed to allow organisations to show formal recognition to their volunteers. This might include recognising them for the number of hours contributed, the achievement of a particular outcome or purely for their dedication. Each certificate is individually signed by the Minister for Volunteers

Certificates are available from the Office for Volunteers by phoning 8463 4490 or emailing ofv@saugov.sa.gov.au.

The Premier’s Certificate of Appreciation for Outstanding Volunteer Service

This certificate has been created to recognise outstanding volunteer service. Consequently the number of these certificates has been limited. When requesting a Premier's Certificate of Appreciation, please outline the volunteer's distinguishing elements, such as significant achievements or length of service.

Organisations are encouraged to consider awarding this certificate to groups of volunteers in addition to individuals. Each certificate is individually signed by the Premier and the Minister for Volunteers.

Certificates are available from the Office for Volunteers by phoning 8463 4490 or emailing ofv@saugov.sa.gov.au. (Please ensure you provide the names of the recipients and date to be shown on the certificate.)

Please allow four weeks notice to have your certificates prepared.
