The Festival is also interested to hear from potential volunteers with admin experience to assist in tasks in the lead up to the event.
Festival Director, Cathy Treasure said her team would love to hear about your interests so they can place you in a role where you can learn and get on-the-job experience.
"For example, if you are studying or have an interest in event management or stage management, we have some hands-on roles available," she said.
The Festival is looking to the community to get onboard and help.
"We have 150 volunteer roles to fill and each one of them plays an important part of the success of the Festival and the experience of our fans," Cathy said.
General Manager of Central West Credit Union Bruce Facey said his team is absolutely thrilled to be involved with the sponsorship of the Festival's incredible volunteer program.
"Volunteers are the life blood of regional areas and this is a fantastic opportunity to give back to the community," he said.
In the spirit of Elvis, each volunteer will receive a themed t-shirt, hat, water bottle, bag and program for their hard work.
