Set up, maintain and pack up the festival infrastructure. Must be able to work outdoors, lift heavy items and perform tasks such as putting in star pickets and erecting marquees. A driver's license is a bonus.
Stand or sit at a designated point outdoors and direct traffic during the event. May be asked to collect donations for festival parking. May be asked to use a radio.
Working outdoors, must be able to lift heavy items, including full wheelie bins. Bin Fairies interact with the public to ensure the correct items are placed in the correct bins.

Stand at the door of a venue and greet ticket holders, check wristbands, and keep count of the number of patrons in the venue at any time.
May be asked to perform any task during their shift. They may fill in where another volunteer hasn’t shown up or assist in an area struggling to keep up. RSA is useful in this role.What are your role interests? Please select volunteer roles you are interested in. This will give us an idea of the jobs you are prepared to do. You can add as many as you like. We will ask you to specify the order of your preferences further down the form.
We know some roles aren't as glamorous as others, but each and every one is important, and we need to fill them all!
As we approach the upcoming festival, many roles may already have been assigned.
Are you prepared to do anything that is offered to you?
If you have selected Bar as a role preference, please upload a copy of your Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certificate.
While we like to accommodate any preferences we can, please understand the majority of shifts will be allocated on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are during the festival setup. Monday is pack up and clean up.
We will need a few people to help us set up and pack down, but these roles are filled very quickly. Most of the help we need is during the Festival, and we may need to roster you during times you haven't given as a preference.
If you still wish to volunteer, but there is a particular time you have work or family commitments, please let us know in additional information below. The times on the table below are general indications, and your shift times will vary according to the role you are in.
The minimum age of volunteers is 15 years.
