Key Duties

Volunteers can choose from a variety of fun and rewarding event-day roles, including:

• Assisting with the Rotary barbecue

We will do our best to match volunteers with roles that suit their interests, skills, and availability.

We are looking for volunteers who are:

• Friendly and approachable
• Reliable and punctual
• Comfortable working as part of a team

Additional Requirements

Most volunteer roles do not require any special qualifications.

Some roles involving direct interaction with children, including face painting and selected children's activities, require a current Queensland Blue Card. Volunteers who already hold a Blue Card are encouraged to indicate this when applying.

Car parking volunteers should be comfortable standing and walking for extended periods outdoors and assisting drivers in a courteous and safe manner.
