Volunteer at Carols in the Domain

Volunteering opportunities

Since the inaugural event in 1983, The Salvation Army has been the proud charity partner of Carols in the Domain, raising more than $3.5 million through the sale of candles and candle bags to help support Australians experiencing homelessness.

We’re thrilled to share that The Salvation Army is returning for its second year as the official naming partner of Australia’s largest Christmas event — proudly known as The Salvation Army's Carols in the Domain.

This year, we seek the support of volunteers to help us get ready for and conduct the event. Opportunities include helping sell our candle bags, as well as volunteer ushers to assist attendees.

Please check below for opportunities and how to apply.
