FAQs
Do I need a bike to volunteer?
No, bikes aren't required to volunteer.
How does the volunteer application process work?
All volunteers need to apply for shifts using Rosterfy. If you've volunteered for an AusCycling event before, you can login using your existing details. If this is your first time volunteering, you'll need to create an account.
Visit Rosterfy to create an account or login.
Once applications are open, you'll be able to login, view all shifts and apply for any you're available for.
We'll contact all volunteers via email about their application and shifts.
How long are the shifts?
Shifts range anywhere from two to nine hours. Your schedule will confirm your shift lengths and your crew assignment. The earliest shifts start around 7:30am, and all shifts will finish up by 5:00pm.
Will I be outside all day?
Depending on where you're assigned, you may be inside or outside. Even if you're signed up for an indoor shift, please be prepared to be outdoors as sometimes your responsibilities will require you to work both.
What do I wear?
We'll provide a t-shirt and hat for you to wear. Please wear shorts or pants and comfortable, closed-toe footwear.
Is food provided?
Yes, lunch will be provided during your shift. Water will be readily available.
I'm under 18. Can I still volunteer?
Yes. The minimum age to volunteer is 16. If you're under 18, we'll need a parent or guardian to sign and submit a waiver before or when you sign in for your first shift.
Will parking be available for me?
Yes. There is plenty of parking at James Cook University, which is a short walk away from the venue. We'll provide more information when shifts are confirmed.
Are there any perks to volunteering?
Of course there are! You'll get to meet like-minded people, improve your skills, be part of the action and get a glimpse into the inner workings of the world's premier mountain bike festival
Every volunteer will receive:
-
A t-shirt, hat and drink bottle
-
Lunch during your shift
-
A $50 donation per completed shift to your chosen club or charity
-
One entry into a prize draw to win a major prize for every 10 hours completed (last year there was a bike up for grabs!)
