Get involved with The Salvation Army's Carols in the Domain
Volunteering Opportunities
Since the inaugural event in 1983, The Salvation Army has been the charity partner of Carols in the Domain. Last year marked a new chapter in the event’s history, as we became the official naming partner of Australia’s largest Christmas celebration, now proudly known as The Salvation Army’s Carols in the Domain.
Over the years, the sale of candles and candle bags at the event has raised more than $3.5 million to support Australians experiencing homelessness.
This year, we’re seeking the support of volunteers to help us both pack and sell our Candle Bags! We also have an exciting opportunity at The Salvation Army’s Carols in the Domain to recruit volunteer ushers.
Candle Bag Packing
We have 5,100 candle bags to pack, each containing around 20-25 items, and we need all the help from volunteers we can get! This opportunity is perfect for large or small groups looking for a great team building activity.
Join us for this fast-paced, hands-on activity by registering for a shift.
Event dates: Wednesday 4th - Friday 6th November 2026
Candle Bag Stall Volunteer

The Candle bags, filled with family treats and toys generously donated by Woolworths and a range of other suppliers, are sold at The Salvation Army's Carols in the Domain, with all proceeds going towards our homelessness programs.
