Every zone.
Every shift.
Organise a single role or combine teams across entrances, service points, hospitality zones and general event areas. For multi-day events, list each date, zone, duty and shift separately.
Include opening hours, peak arrival times, expected attendance, breaks and the onsite reporting structure. This helps shape the staffing plan around the way your event operates.
Guest services and queue guidance are non-security roles. Identify licensed security, traffic control, specialist production and other licensed work separately.
Staffing across Australia
Your event. Your location.
Plan local support or a program spanning multiple cities. Include the exact suburb and venue address with your enquiry.
Before you enquire
Festival staffing FAQs.
What types of public events do you support?
Enquire for community festivals, council events, markets, food festivals, concerts, ticketed gatherings and multi-day public programs. Share the format, location and areas where staffing is required.
Can we combine hospitality and guest services?
Yes. Your enquiry can include bartenders, food and beverage attendants, ticketing staff, guest information teams, event assistants and setup or packdown crew. List the duties and shifts for each role.
Can you help across multiple dates or event zones?
Yes. Send a schedule of dates, zones, duties and shifts, including preparation and closing periods. Identify the onsite lead for each area and any briefing or access requirements.
Do guest services staff provide security or traffic control?
No. Ticket scanning, guest directions and queue guidance are non-security roles. Arrange licensed security and traffic control separately and explain how the teams will work together onsite.
What do I need to request a quote?
Include the event date, venue address, attendance estimate, roles, staff numbers and start and finish times. Add your site plan, uniform preferences, service setup and any role-specific requirements.
