Every year, approximately 200 enthusiastic volunteers known as Yellow Shirts spend one unforgettable week helping new students find their feet and have fun

The mega-extravagant-amazing-wonderful event that is the UNSW O-Week is a huge success because of the hard work, commitment and fun-loving spirit of the Yellow Shirts.

Joining Yellow Shirts provides you with lifelong friends, skills and a summer full of memories, connections, and experiences you won't find anywhere else.

From your time at UNSW, this is the best way to pass on your experiences towards students that are just about to begin their university journey in a way that can make a lasting difference while also meeting people from all over campus.

Applications to volunteer at O-Week 2027 will open in Term 3 2026 so keep an eye out!
