VOLUNTEER

Join us at TOPIA and become a part of the journey.
Will everyone who applies be successful?

We are looking to build a team at TOPIA of friendly and reliable individuals who are capable of looking after themselves and others. If this sounds like you - it's more than likely that you'll be selected! There’s a few things that an applicant MUST be for their application to be successful, which includes being over 18 at the time gates open.

How long do Volunteer shifts go for?

As a volunteer at TOPIA festival, you are required to complete one shift in return for free access to the festival. Shifts are allocated across the 2 days prior-to the festival (bump-in), the festival day, and the day after the festival (bump-out). 

If you are allocated a shift during bump-in or bump-out, you will be required to complete 6 hours of work. These shifts include a 30-minute meal break (a meal will be provided for you per any dietary requirements you specified in your application form). 

Shifts on festival day are 4-5 hours long, and it is expected that you complete these hours without taking a prolonged break (a 5-minute smoko is totally fine) (unlike bump-in/out, you will not be provided a meal).

When will I find out my shifts?

Confirmation of shifts will be sent out via email roughly 2 weeks prior. However you will be contacted to confirm your selection and availability as soon as possible after your application has been submitted.

What if I need support?

Your on-site contact for any emergencies or incidents is Lex Barlin (volunteer coordinator), you can reach him via any staff member’s radio or alternatively via phone: +61 452 224 338.

If you require immediate assistance, please head to the Operations Hub (see site map for location).
