Ipswich City Council

Become an Ipswich Advocate volunteer

Did you know that more than 40% of the 688,000 people who visit Ipswich every year are coming to see friends and relatives?  This means that people who live in Ipswich have a fantastic opportunity to showcase the best of our City and surrounds to a large audience from all over Australia and from overseas.

What's in it for you?

  • Participation in series of free familiarisation tours of Ipswich and surrounds
  • Invitations to selected events and product launches
  • Free Ipswich Advocate merchandise
  • Priority advice about new promotional materials and tourism products
  • The opportunity to make a real and exciting difference to Ipswich

What do you need to become an Ipswich Advocate?

You must be 18 years or older, passionate about Ipswich, able to advocate to others as well as being happy to speak about the city to groups of people if required.  

So if that describes you, and you would like the opportunity to help promote your city, consider becoming an Ipswich Advocate volunteer today. 

You will be helping to educate Ipswich residents about the special experiences they and their visitors can enjoy here. We'll be selecting a minimum of 20 Ipswich Advocates from all over the City and surrounds.

If you are keen to join this initiative, complete the form below and submit a 200 word story on how you would showcase Ipswich to your friends or relatives visiting for a weekend.

Entries close Monday 1 September 2008 and will be judged by an independent panel of tourism professionals. Ipswich Advocate volunteers will be announced on Monday 8 September 2008.
