What an incredible two weeks of celebrations. It was fantastic to see so many volunteers and staff come together at our Volunteer Week events around the state to recognise the difference we each make in our communities every single day. The energy, connection and genuine appreciation in the room was wonderful to see.
During the celebrations we also announced the recipients of this year’s Volunteer Week Awards. We are proud to announce 2026 recipient:
- Doug Cooper Volunteer Award – Keven Williams
- Regional Champions:
- Regional Champion (North West) – Tony Cooper

These volunteers exemplify our values in action - respect, kindness, connection, reliability, safety and community impact. Their commitment ensures people across Tasmania remain supported, independent and connected.
We also proudly recognised volunteers who have reached significant service milestones of 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. Their long-standing dedication is a testament to the strength and commitment of our volunteer community.
Thank you to every volunteer who contributes their time, compassion and energy to CTST and the staff who support them. You are the reason our communities stay connected, supported and thriving.
