VOLUNTEER APPLICATION 
FORM

It’s that time of year again!

We’re gearing up for the 2026 Man From Snowy River Bush Festival, taking place from 16th to 19th April, and we couldn’t be more excited.

The Board of Directors would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your ongoing support. This festival simply wouldn’t be possible without our incredible volunteers.

As a small token of our appreciation, all volunteers who generously give their time will receive a free 4-day festival pass and a volunteer bush shirt embroidered with our logo.

Please take a moment to complete the form below so we can ensure your details are up to date. We’ll be in touch with more information as the event draws closer—and we truly hope to welcome you back in April 2026!

Please note:

  • We’re introducing a new system for camping bookings through Humanitix. Once accepted as a volunteer, you'll receive an official acceptance email containing information on how to book your camping spot.
    Don't forget to click "yes" or "No" on the application form if you require camping

  • At this stage, due to pending guidelines regarding Working With Children Checks (WWCC) and the involvement of minors, we are not accepting volunteers under 18 years of age until further notice.




Kind Regards,

Lisa Walsh
