Hire vetted event set-up crew in Sydney in minutes.
Sydney’s events calendar never really stops: Olympic Park fixtures, the ICC’s conference schedule, stadium seasons and a dense run of festivals. MyGig staffs the casual layer around those events, and because crews are booked shift by shift, a two-day bump-in and a four-hour gate call are equally bookable.
Bump-in windows are fixed by the venue, not by you: crew size is the only lever, so book exactly the hands the site plan needs. No formal tickets are typically required to start; vetting covers identity, references and role skills.
Post the shift in about 60 seconds and watch vetted event set-up crew apply. MyGig is the Employer of Record: employment contracts, award-interpreted payroll with the clause cited, 12% superannuation, and workers compensation all sit with us. You get one invoice and one flat 15% service fee on wages and on-costs, with the full cost estimated before you book.
