Melbourne Writers Festival is an immersive literary arts festival that brings people together to celebrate words, stories and the humans who create them. Each year we invite our audience to be challenged, be entertained, to learn and be inspired through a buzzing program of storytelling, conversation and discussion, intellectual debate, educational programs, live performance, music and art events.

Volunteer Drivers drive artists to their events around Melbourne and are responsible for dropping off and picking up artists from the airport. Drivers will drive Festival vehicles.

We are looking for volunteers who are friendly, confident communicators who can follow instructions to a tee, problem solve when necessary, and have an excellent knowledge of Melbourne.

The role is best suited to experienced, confident drivers who enjoy being behind the wheel! The role also requires some liaising with external venues, staff and other volunteers.

Volunteers need to have a full drivers licence and be over 25 years old.

All volunteers receive a Festival t-shirt and a Volunteer Pass, gaining entry to all standard MWF events that aren’t sold out.

Driver Volunteer shifts are roughly four to five hours long. You will need to be available to volunteer for at least 4 shifts between 28 August to 10 September.
