Do you have any additional comments?

I have read and agree to abide by the National Folk Festival Code of Conduct and to complete the required rostered hours during the Festival (this does not include training hours in the leadup to the Festival). In exchange I will receive a season pass to the Festival, including camping, and access to volunteer facilities and benefits such as subsidised meals from the Volunteer Centre.

I understand that if I do not fulfil my part of the agreement (eg collect my pass but do not turn up to work my allocated shifts) I will be invoiced for a season pass with camping. I understand that if I breach the Code of Conduct I may be dismissed for misconduct, escorted from the site, and have future volunteer applications declined. In the event of an accident, misadventure or illness I will contact the Festival as early as possible so that a replacement can be found.

Do you accept these conditions and agree to abide by them? *
Yes No
