Volunteer with ProMED Tasmania at Party in the Paddock 2027!

ProMED Tasmania will once again be the official event medical and first aid provider for Party in the Paddock 2027, and we're looking for volunteers to join the team.

The festival runs from Thursday 4th to Monday 8th February 2027 at Quercus Park, Carrick. Across the event, our crews will keep thousands of festival-goers safe around the clock. Volunteers who complete their minimum shifts score a 4-day festival pass, plus clinical experience you won't find anywhere else.

A Partnership Built On Safety

We've worked alongside festival organiser Vibestown since 2021, supporting both Party in the Paddock and Party in the Apocalypse. That partnership rests on a shared commitment: a safe, supportive and health-conscious festival for everyone who comes through the gates.

Hospital-Level Care In A Paddock

Our team provides 24-hour medical and first aid coverage for the whole festival. A FACEM-led medical team will run two on-site medical centres, backed by mobile crews.

• Main Medical Centre: 2 resuscitation beds, 10 sub-acute beds and 8 walk-in treatment seats
• Arena Medical Post: 2 sub-acute beds and 6 walk-in treatment seats
• Mobile response: foot patrols and stretcher vehicle response units

Clinically, the team can deliver advanced cardiac and patient monitoring, advanced airway management including RSI and intubation, and advanced pharmacology including IV infusions and syringe drivers. Point-of-care pathology (i-STAT with CHEM8+, CG8+ and troponin), point-of-care ultrasound, wound closure and plastering are all available on site.

PartySMART: Looking After The Crowd

Alongside the clinical team, the ProMED PartySMART crew will be on site throughout the event delivering harm minimisation and health education. Look out for them at:

• Safer partying: chill-out zones, roving peer support, substance use education and referral pathways, and electrolyte replacement fluids
• Sexual health and safety: STI education and prevention, safer sex packs, referrals to sexual health services, and period products
• Sun and outdoor safety: SunSmart education, plus free sunscreen and insect repellent
• Mental health and wellbeing: awareness, and referrals to support and counselling services
