Congratulations to the 2026 Queensland Volunteer of the Year, Carolyn Robinson! 🏆

Carolyn reminds us what volunteering is truly about — not recognition, but creating real change.

As the founder of Beyond DV, Carolyn has dedicated herself to supporting women and families rebuilding their lives after domestic violence. Her journey shows the power of community: families, volunteers and supporters all working together to improve the lives of others.

As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, it’s a moment to recognise the countless people across Queensland who share Carolyn’s passion and give their time simply because they care. And if you haven't volunteered before, this week is the perfect moment to take that first step.

It's your year to volunteer. Get involved at volunteeringqld.org.au

🌸 This National Volunteers Week (18–24 May), we're shining a light on the incredible heart of the QCWA; our volunteers.
Every week, our members give their time, energy, and care to communities right across Queensland. From running stalls and hosting events, to supporting those in need and keeping our branches thriving; this work matters, and so do YOU.
This year's theme is Your Year to Volunteer, and for so many of our members, volunteering isn't just something they do, it's who they are. 💛
To every QCWA volunteer: thank you. Queensland is stronger, warmer, and more connected because of you.

💛 Happy National Volunteers Week to the backbone of the QCWA, our amazing volunteers!
Across Queensland, our members are quietly doing extraordinary things; baking, fundraising, advocating, connecting, and caring for their communities every single day.
We see you. We thank you. We celebrate you. 🙌

Pop in for a sausage if you're in the area, and support our Highfields friends.

The ultimate sausage sandwich is entirely a matter of preference! Whether you prefer the onion on top or bottom, with sauce or completely bare, it’s a highly debated topic. Come and support us!

Do you have the best recipe in Australia?
Now is your chance to prove it.

How do you apply?
Head to recipeoftheyear.com.au

Who should apply?
Anyone! Men, Women, Country, City - as long as you are a good cook who loves bringing together people through food. We’re not after Masterchefs, or professionals - we want real Australians who love cooking.

What sort of food will be on the show?
This is not baking show. We are after all recipes - sweet, savoury and everything in between. We’re not after deconstructed masterpieces, or a recipe with 50 ingredients - we are after everyday recipes that anyone can cook.

When do applications close?
Monday 15 June. But don’t wait! Get your application in soon!

Today, we celebrate the women who nurture, guide, support and love in so many different ways. 💙

To the mothers raising families, the grandmothers sharing wisdom, the step mums, carers, aunties, mentors and mother figures who help shape our communities — thank you.

We also acknowledge those who hold their mothers close in memory, those navigating difficult relationships, and the women who wished for the opportunity to become mothers but never had that chance. Today can carry many emotions, and there is a place for all of them.

At QCWA, we know the strength of our communities is built on compassion, resilience and care — qualities so many women share every day, often quietly and without recognition.

Wherever Mother’s Day finds you today, we hope you feel appreciated, supported and valued.

Happy Mother’s Day from QCWA. 💐
