  • VOLUNTEER APPLICATION

    Melbourne Fringe is an annual celebration of cultural democracy and art for everyone. Every year, over 250 volunteers join our Festival team to assist at our Signature Events, Festival Hub & Info Booth. Our amazing volunteers help with Front of House, Access & Inclusion and All Round Festival support to ensure the successful delivery of the Festival. Applications are now open for 2023! The best part? Everyone's invited!

  • As a Melbourne Fringe volunteer, you will typically contribute 15 – 25 hours of time across the Festival. Most volunteers help across five shifts of up toof up to four hours each, but many put their hand up for more. Some volunteers also help before the Festival, assisting with site décor and administration behind the scenes.
