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 Brisbane for a unique permanent part-time role based in Alice Springs.

Captain Starlight is a superhero from Planet Starlight who spreads joy, creativity, and laughter to children in hospitals, clinics, and remote communities across Australia.

As a Captain Starlight, you will:

- Make a real and positive difference to the lives of others.
- Become the best performer you can be - we offer performance workshops with renowned industry professionals and the opportunity to participate in a week of Learning and Development in another Starlight Express Room of your choice.
- 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.
