Access and Campsite
Pre, During and Post Festival

The Access and Campsite team are responsible for the wellbeing of our patrons and campgrounds. There are different responsibilities in this team, so feel free to indicate which you’d like to help with.

Access helps make the Festival more accessible for people with disability, health, or mobility requirements. The team supports accessible camping arrangements, wheelchair and mobility scooter charging facilities, accessibility signage, and the communication of accessibility information across the site.

The Campsite crew oversee the effective operation of the campgrounds. Their duties include marking out campsites, directing patrons and vehicles through the campgrounds, helping get our campers settled, and ensuring the camping areas and facilities are free of any issues.

Who

This team needs people with good communication and organisation skills and the ability to think laterally. If your interests lie with Access, an understanding of the challenges facing people with disabilities is highly desirable. If your interests lie with campsite, the role may require a fair bit of walking. Both areas require physical fitness.

When

The Access and Campsite team operates Pre Festival and during the Festival, with hours varying between the two functions. Campsite operates from 20 to 30 March, with most Pre Festival work focused on preparing the campgrounds and welcoming arriving campers. Access support is available Pre Festival as required and operates throughout the Festival from 25 to 29 March. Volunteers complete 30 hours if working only pre-Festival, or 20 hours during the Festival.

How

All volunteers must complete the online safety induction as part of their application. Some teams may require additional training or briefings before the Festival. If this applies to your role, your Team Coordinator will advise you. Volunteers should also read any role-specific information or guides provided by their Coordinator.
