Behind every great event is an even greater group of Volunteers!

Volunteering at the Outback Festival is a great opportunity to work closely with our outback community, make lifelong friends, and really make a difference.

Are you:

  • Looking for a unique Outback Festival experience?
  • Reliable, flexible, organised, and “able to get the job done”?
  • Someone who enjoys meeting members of the public from all over Australia and the world?

Then volunteer with us!

There is a broad range of volunteering roles available – we’ve got something for everyone!

Volunteers will be required to volunteer for a minimum of 25 hours over the five days, split across multiple shifts. You can nominate your preferences for volunteer roles based on your interests, skills, experience, and licences/accreditations (where applicable).

We will do our best to accommodate preferences, however please be advised that volunteers may be asked to help in other areas of work where necessary to contribute to the success of iconic Outback Festival.
