Do I have to volunteer for both days of the festival?
Yes. Only volunteers who are available for both days will be considered for a place on the team. In order to organise rosters & fulfill shift requirements we need & require all volunteers to be available for both days of the festival. You won’t however be rostered on for the entire weekend. You will have plenty of free time to enjoy the festival.
I can only come one day of the festival can I still apply?
No. We require all confirmed volunteers to be available for the whole weekend.
Is there camping on site?
No. Unfortunately due to the size and remoteness of the site there is to be strictly no camping. All volunteers will have to find their own accommodation. There is however several camping sites available close by. For information about camping in the local area & other accommodation facilities contact: Mornington Peninsula Tourism on 1800 804 009.
Is there parking available for the volunteers on site?
No. Unfortunately due to an overwhelming demand for tickets and only limited parking available, there will be no parking on site for volunteers.
Can I get discounted tickets for my friends & family?
No there are no discounted tickets available.
Must I attend the volunteer pre-festival meeting?
Yes. This is a compulsory meeting which will cover all Occupational Health and Safety requirements, rosters & additional information that you will require to ensure you get the most out of being a volunteer at the festival. It's also a great way to meet the co-ordinators & each other & become part of the Volunteer family.
Can I choose my shifts so I can work with my friends?
You can give us preferences but make sure the details are clear and include the name of the person you would like to be on roster with so we can pair you together. We will try to accommodate you however we can not guarantee that all requests will be met.
What if I am unable to make a shift due to illness or car problems etc, but still wish to continue as a volunteer?
You will be given a contact number for the volunteer headquarters for use if you are late, ill or unable to make your shift.
I am travelling in Australia from overseas can I volunteer at the festival?
Only if you have a valid visa for working whilst travelling in Australia. A standard holiday visa does not permit you to be a volunteer at the festival. All volunteer applicants must be either born in Australia or have an existing resident or working holiday visa for the duration of the festival. Student visas & Working Holiday visas are only acceptable if the visa stipulates that work is permitted. Proof of your visa will be required before confirmation as a volunteer can be finalised.
Is there any paid work available at the festival?
Yes, there are paid bar positions available at the festival. If you have bar experience and a current RSA please submit your resume and relevant details to helen@definitiveevents.com.au
