Staffing from opening gates to closing time.
One Events helps organisers arrange festival, concert and sporting event staff hire in Melbourne and Sydney, with staffing supported by Event Staff Australia. Combine guest-facing and practical support roles in one brief. Specify each zone, task and shift so the staffing request reflects your event programme, site layout and busiest periods.

Build around the event's busy moments.
Festival & concert staffing
Share public opening hours, performance times and the expected arrival peaks. Separate entry coverage from bar service, event support and the final pack-down. For several stages or activity areas, list the duties and reporting contact for each zone. Include staff access, accreditation and the meeting point in the brief.
Sporting events & fan experiences
Plan staff coverage around gate opening, pre-match activity, breaks and post-event departures. Describe guest check-in, hospitality suites, sponsor areas and any fan-zone support. For promotional activity, include brand ambassadors and activation staff with a separate campaign briefing.
A PRACTICAL MAJOR-EVENT STAFFING PLAN
Make every area and shift clear.
Guest arrival and admission procedures
Tell us the number of entrances, expected attendance and how tickets or invitations are checked. Identify the systems and training supplied, accessibility information and the organiser contact for admission questions. Guest check-in duties should be defined separately from licensed security or specialist crowd-management responsibilities.
Hospitality during peak service
For bar staff, explain the drinks menu, service points, stock arrangements and relevant certification requirements. For wait staff and hospitality attendants, list food service, clearing and replenishment duties. Include the work your caterer already covers so the request focuses on the additional people needed.
Setup, room changes and pack-down
General event crew can assist with the practical tasks specified in your brief. Describe the items to be moved, access windows and onsite supervision. Identify tasks requiring specialist licences, equipment or technical skills so the role requirements are clear. Include staff briefing and pack-down time within the requested shift.
Melbourne and Sydney event enquiries
Supply the venue address, event dates, audience estimate and role breakdown. For multi-day festivals or several locations, list each shift separately. Include outdoor working conditions, staff facilities, breaks and the reporting contact. You can also discuss additional event services such as photography, transport, catering, audio or lighting; specify which services you want included in the proposed scope.
Prepare your major-event enquiry.
01. Site & programme
Send the location, dates, attendance, public hours and programme or site plan where available.
02. Roles & zones
Specify entry, hospitality and crew tasks, staff numbers, equipment and induction requirements.
03. Shifts & access
List arrival times, breaks, finish times, staff access and the contact for each area.
Festival and sporting event staffing questions.
Can we request several staff roles together?
Yes. Combine entry teams, bartenders, wait staff and general event crew in one enquiry. Provide the duties, staff numbers and shift times for each role so your quote reflects the different areas of the event.
What should we include for a multi-day festival?
List each day, zone and shift separately, including briefing and pack-down time. Supply public opening hours, likely service peaks, staff facilities and onsite reporting contacts. Mark any programme details still being finalised.
Can staff support our ticket-scanning process?
Explain the ticketing system, devices, access and training your organiser supplies. Include procedures for guest questions and the person authorised to resolve admission issues.
Can we add staff for a sponsor or VIP function?
Yes. Describe guest arrivals, food and drinks service and the host's requirements. For sponsor activations, add the promotional duties and campaign materials to your brief. Keep each team’s responsibilities clear.
