A second stage of this process was further research commissioned by the Volunteering Secretariat and conducted by Dr Judy Esmond PhD. This report entitled From 'Boomnet to Boomnot' (pdf, 90kb) identified those organisations within the Western Australian community that utilise volunteers and specifically targeted Baby Boomers as volunteers.

The research concluded that only 6% of organisations contacted have thought of targeting Baby Boomers to recruit as volunteers. Only 1% of organisations have put into action some form of recruiting approach which specifically targets Baby Boomers.
