Work With Us

Interested in Joining Our Team at Midsumma Festival?

With a small core team working year-round from the Midsumma Office in Melbourne’s CBD, we grow into a vibrant seasonal workforce each festival season, bringing together passionate creatives, producers, administrators, community leaders, and LGBTQIA+ and disability community advocates to help deliver one of Australia’s largest queer arts and cultural festivals.

Working at Midsumma is fast-paced, collaborative, purpose-driven, and deeply connected to community. Whether you’re supporting artists, coordinating volunteers, producing events, or helping audiences experience the festival, every role contributes to creating spaces where LGBTQIA+ communities can celebrate visibility, creativity, and connection.

Alongside our year-round team, we recruit seasonal staff, summer work placements, and volunteers from September to February each year in the lead-up to festival delivery. Head to About Midsumma to learn more about Midsumma Festival, our values, and the work we do.
