Do you have a passion for creativity? We’re on the lookout for cheerful, hands-on helpers to assist with the Art, Craft & Cookery Competition at the Melbourne Royal Show — a vibrant showcase of talent, tradition, and craftsmanship at one of Victoria’s most iconic events.

We’re looking for people who: 

  • Have an interest in art, craft and/or cookery
  • Bring a warm and friendly attitude
  • Enjoy working as part of a team
  • Can handle exhibits with care and attention

Requirements: 

  • Availability for at least two days on selected key dates between Tuesday, 9 September – Tuesday, 7 October.

This is a unique opportunity to step behind the scenes of a major competition and help make the magic happen.
