About Us Our mission is to brighten the lives of seriously ill children & their families, bringing them fun, joy, and laughter when they need it most… because happiness matters.

About the Role We're holding Captain Starlight auditions in Sydney for a unique permanent part-time role based in Alice Springs. If you're successful, we'll provide relocation support to help you make the move and join our incredible team.

You will be part of a vibrant and talented team that brings moments of light to kids during some of their most challenging times, creating positive, lasting impacts on their healthcare journey.

As Captain

Be part of an incredible, diverse team of over 160 talented actors and performers, each with their own networks.

Join either our Alice Springs Team in the Northern Territory. One of the most exciting parts of our Northern Territory roles is being part of Starlight's Healthier Futures Initiative, where Captain Starlight visits remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community clinics to bring joy, fun and positive distraction to kids through song, dance,



games and storytelling. This program plays a small but meaningful role in helping close the gap in health outcomes for Indigenous children.

We have a fabulous relocation package to support you with the move to the Northern Territory and have part-time roles available in Alice Springs. At the audition, you'll learn more about Starlight and the role, and you get to decide if you'd like to move forward from there. If you have any questions, please email [email protected] We seek candidates from diverse backgrounds who will bring rich experience and perspective to the team, which we know will enhance our creativity and collective intelligence.

Our aim is for Starlight to reflect the broader community and we encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, members of the LGBTIQA+ community, people with diverse abilities and those who are mature aged or just starting out in their career.
