Event Crew Hire in Melbourne & Sydney

What to Expect

Practical support from setup to pack-down.

Setup & bump-in crew

Prepare your event space before guests arrive. Request general crew assistance with furniture, signage, supplies and event materials under your organiser or venue team’s direction.

Include the task list, access windows, items to be moved and any induction or specialist requirements. Request an event crew quote →

Support while your event runs

Describe replenishment, room resets, attendee directions and other general assistance needed during the programme. Identify the reporting contact and which duties your existing team covers.

For guest arrivals, request registration staff or ticketing teams.

Pack-down & bump-out

Plan the work that starts after guests leave: moving furniture, collecting event materials and general clearing duties specified in your brief.

Share the venue deadline, storage locations and loading access. Setup and pack-down may require separate shifts and different crew numbers.

One brief. Clear responsibilities.

One Events helps you arrange event crew hire in Melbourne and Sydney, with staffing supported by Event Staff Australia. Define roles, headcounts and start and finish times for each event stage.

Specify tasks requiring specialist licences or equipment separately from general event support.

How booking works.

Turn your task list into a clear staffing request.

Share your event details, including date, location, timings, and the type of staff required. This allows us to assess suitability, scope, and availability for your event.
We’ll review your enquiry and send through a tailored quote outlining staff roles, hours, rates, and any applicable service or coordination fees.
Your booking is confirmed once payment is completed on the issued quote/invoice. This secures the requested staff numbers and hours for your event.
Once confirmed, we’ll send a short event questionnaire closer to the event date to finalise key details such as run sheet notes, access, and on-site contacts.
Staff details are typically issued closer to the event date (around 24 hours prior), once final confirmations are completed. Our team remains available to support coordination leading into the event.

Plan the crew around your event.

Book event crew for Melbourne and Sydney functions, exhibitions, launches and public events. Tell us when your site opens to suppliers, when guests arrive and when the venue must be cleared.

Request an event crew quote with your dates, venue, task list and shifts. If crew numbers are undecided, describe the work, the time available and any tasks that must happen together.

What should an event crew brief include?

Provide the event date, location, crew numbers if known, shift times and a task list. Describe furniture, supplies or equipment involved, including item sizes and weights where relevant. Explain loading access, stairs or lifts, carrying distances and storage locations, plus the person supervising the work. Include staff briefing and breaks.

Can I request setup and pack-down together?

Yes. List both stages, including the tasks, start and finish times and headcounts if known. If numbers are undecided, describe the workload and time available for each stage. A morning setup and late-evening pack-down may need separate shifts. Include any room changes during the event as their own requirement.

Can crew work with our venue and suppliers?

Describe which tasks are already covered and where extra hands are needed. Share supplier delivery times, loading access and onsite instructions. Identify technical installation or specialist work separately so the role requirements can be reviewed.
