Volunteer on our Local Team

Our Local Teams operate in the events environment in the lead-up to, and during the annual festival. As a member of a local team, you’ll work with volunteers in your local city or town and receive support and direction from the National Team to deliver the annual Pint of Science festival across Australia.  

We offer both longer-term roles and one-off, on-the-night positions to support the success of our annual May festival. 

City Coordinator Roles

The City Coordinator is responsible for driving and delivering the annual Pint of Science Australia festival in their city or town. City Coordinators lead and coordinate a team of local volunteers in their city, including allocating members to roles, supporting them in sourcing venues and speakers, arranging communications and assisting with the promotion of their local event with available resources.

City Coordinator applications for the 2025 Annual Festival have closed. If you're interested in leading an event for our 2026 Annual Festival, applications are expected to open late 2025.

For all other local team roles...

If you're interested in our other festival-focused volunteer roles, we offer a broad range of opportunities, including event coordination, on-the-night and MC.

Keep an eye on this page, or sign up to our mailing list, to hear when we open our Expressions of Interest for the 2026 festival. 

Please note that completing an EOI form only expresses your interest and does not commit you to volunteer at the festival. You will hear back from us closer to the festival to confirm your availability and interest.

If you have any questions, get in touch.
