The State Award Ceremony is held on or near the 5 December each year in recognition of International Volunteer Day, at Parliament House Sydney. The Awards are presented by the Minister for Volunteering (who is also the Patron of the Award). The 2010 NSW Volunteer of the Year Award Ambassador is Sydney Swans player Adam Goodes.
