Volunteer Opportunities

Are you passionate about sheep breeding, agriculture and farming? We’re on the lookout for cheerful, hands-on helpers to assist with the Sheep Competition at the Melbourne Royal Show — a celebration of stud breeders of wool, dual purpose and meat breed sheep at one of Victoria’s most iconic events.

We’re looking for people who: 

  • Have an interest in or understanding of Sheep husbandry
  • Bring a warm and friendly attitude 
  • Enjoy working as part of a team 
  • Have a willingness to be present on the judging floor, to assist judges with record keeping and event procedure's 

Requirements: 

  • Availability between Thursday, 25 September – Saturday 27, September (Sheep Arrival and Judging).
  • A valid Working with Children Check (WWC) – Volunteer WWC accepted.

This is a unique opportunity to step behind the scenes of a major competition and help make the magic happen. You’ll play a key role in creating a memorable experience for everyone involved, while meeting like-minded individuals, sharing a few laughs, and connecting with others who share your passion for sheep, wool and all things agriculture!  

Drop us a line at sheep@melbourneroyal.com.au with a little about yourself and why you’d make a great steward.​
