One of the South Coast’s most loved cultural events is looking for a new Treasurer to join the team.
StoryFest, the South Shoalhaven’s biennial storytelling and literary festival, is seeking a volunteer Treasurer to help bring the 2027 festival to life.
Since its beginnings in 2018, StoryFest has grown into one of regional NSW’s premier literary events. The most recent festival in 2025 attracted nearly 2,000 attendees and saw more than 3,000 tickets sold across 63 author talks, storytelling sessions and community events held throughout Milton, Mollymook and Ulladulla.
Now planning is underway for the fifth festival, to be held from 17–20 June 2027, and the committee is looking for someone with financial skills and a love of community to join the journey.
As Treasurer, you’ll play a key role on the volunteer committee, overseeing all financial and budgetary matters. This includes payments, invoicing, account management, budget preparation and spending oversight, liaising with key stakeholders including Bendigo Bank Milton and festival suppliers, and supporting grant applications.
While the role is unpaid, it offers the opportunity to be part of a well-established and much-loved event that brings stories, ideas and people together from across the region.
The position currently involves a few hours of work each week, with the workload increasing from early 2027 as festival planning ramps up and the event draws closer.
StoryFest is seeking someone with experience in bookkeeping, accounting or financial management, along with familiarity with tools such as Xero, Excel and Google Drive. Experience working with a community-based or not-for-profit organisation would be welcomed, but is not essential.
If you love books, storytelling and community, and would like to contribute your financial skills to a festival that continues to grow and thrive, StoryFest would love to hear from you.
