New Farm, Queensland, Australia Brisbane Powerhouse Full time $20,000 - $50,000 per year

Volunteer Opportunities – Night Feast and Melt Festival from 15 October 2025 to 9 November 2025

Brisbane Powerhouse is proud to present two of the city's most exciting cultural events: Night Feast, an immersive art and feasting experience that transforms Brisbane Powerhouse and the surrounding parklands into a vibrant culinary and creative playground, and Melt, our annual celebration of Queer art, artists, and ideas, showcasing bold performances, exhibitions, parades, and events that champion diversity and creativity.

To help deliver this outstanding event and festival, Brisbane Powerhouse is seeking a passionate team of volunteers to support both Night Feast and Melt, cementing Brisbane's reputation as a cultural destination worth travelling for.

Volunteering at either festival is a fantastic way to get involved in the arts and events industry with a flexible, rewarding, short-term commitment. Whether you are a supporter of the arts, a student, a creative, or an aspiring arts worker, this is your opportunity to contribute to two of Brisbane's most important cultural celebrations.

  • Roaming the precinct and assisting with patron queries
  • Assisting operational and front-of-house staff across venues and event spaces

  • Minimum Requirement: At least two shifts across the festival period, with priority given to availability on peak festival dates
