VOLUNTEER APPLICATION FORM

CRESFEST 2025 April 4-6

Thanks for taking the time to apply to become a member of the CRESFEST VOLUNTEER FAMILY, which enables this fantastic annual Folk and Roots Festival in country Victoria. The first 3 festivals were a great success and that was largely due to the volunteers who helped everything run so smoothly. Volunteers are expected to be available on average for 4 × 2hr shifts between Friday and Sunday evenings. We will respond to each applicant individually. Successful applicants will be given a free weekend pass to CresFest, which will enable access to all venues when you are not 'on duty'. Please email Neil at volunteers@cresfest.com.au if you have any questions.

Cresfest Volunteer Terms of Agreement

⭐ I agree to the general CresFest ethos of kindness and politeness at all times and am prepared to operate in that framework while carrying out my volunteer duties. To be more specific, I agree to treat all other volunteers and members of the public with respect at all times, not to make anyone feel uncomfortable, and not to behave in any way which could be construed as harassing or bullying. I realize that my engagement with CresFest will be terminated if I can't fulfil this requirement. Feeling safe at CresFest is a fundamental right for all.
⭐ I agree to carry out volunteer tasks of about 4 hours per day (or more, by negotiation). The average time commitment will be four 2 hour sessions between Friday and Sunday evening.
⭐ I agree to take part in volunteer training as required, which will involve at least attending one in-person four-hour maximum face-to-face volunteer induction on a Saturday in March, before the festival.
⭐ I agree to provide a responsible emergency contact with my application.
⭐ I agree to complete the tasks assigned to me by following written instructions or as directed by my Team Leader or the Volunteer Manager.
⭐ I agree to contact my Team Leader as early as possible if circumstances prevent my commencing a shift.
⭐ I agree that no financial payment will be made by CresFest for my services as a volunteer.
⭐ I agree to wear my Festival Volunteer T-shirt whilst on duty
⭐ I agree that not completing my shifts without ample notice or satisfactory reason could result in forfeiting my wristband entry pass. I may not be eligible for future applications to volunteer.
⭐ I agree not to consume or be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs within my rostered hours.
⭐ I am over 18 years of age.
