We are currently not recruiting for any specific organising committee positions - however we always keep an eye out for passionate members of the community who want to dedicate their time to growing and contributing to the festival.
If you have skills and the drive to help plan the ABCF, reach out to volunteer@backcountryfestival.com.au
Become a backcountry festival volunteer
Want to work as a general volunteer for the Australian Backcountry Festival, but don’t have time to commit to the organising committee?
We also need a team of volunteers for ad-hoc and on-the-day help with a variety of tasks, including:
Handing out and hanging up ABCF posters in and around Mt. Hotham in the lead up to the event
Assisting our workshop hosts with set up, demonstrations and managing attendees
Outdoor bar set up and pack up
Tech support at our venues
Photography and videography throughout the festival
You’ll still have plenty of time to participate in tours, workshops and social events at the festival, even as part of our volunteer team!

Business opportunities.
Outdoor Bar
If you are a local food vendor who would like to be part of the Backcountry Festival outdoor bar, send us a message.
Please note it’s a ski-in outdoor bar. No electricity will be available. There is Telstra and Optus reception at the site so you can operate Square payment. There will be a designated bump in time on Saturday for all bar stakeholders to meet at the car park, and a Hotham snow truck will transport equipment to the site for you. Reverse will happen for bump out on Sunday.
See video of 2019 outdoor bar from Crepe Collective to understand what conditions you’ll be working in.
Demo Village
If you are a brand with product or services to showcase and want to be part of the Backcountry Festival demo village, please get in touch with Gavin Bufton gavin.bufton@backcountryfestival.com.au
Sponsorship
Are you a brand interested in getting your product or services in front of a targeted backcountry audience?
We would love cash donations to help with necessary costs such as insurance. We will certainly promote your goodwill to our email database and social channels.
The festival also greatly appreciates products/gift vouchers/discounts to raffle off or giveaway to attract volunteers and festival participants to register and attend the event.
