Loveworks is a small not-for-profit (currently self-funded) voluntary organisation that provides festival and event support services.

It has been operating for ten years, and during this time has established itself as an essential early intervention and prevention service at music events such as Sydney’s Big Day Out, ParkLife, Legs 11, Field Day and Peats Ridge Festival. All our events are run and organised by volunteers.

Loveworks is the vision and product of the hard work of our Director, Ona Lawrence, who saw a need for this type of service at events. Ona believes in providing safe places for all people but especially young people.

Our Objectives are to:

• Increase the comfort and safety of patrons at events.
• Develop and implement state-of-the-art harm minimisation programs that are responsive to the changing needs of patrons at events.
• Promote and provide event risk reduction strategies and services.
• Provide and promote drug and alcohol support and management services.
• Provide natural therapies at events, and to promote the value of natural therapies to the general public and mainstream medical practitioners.
• Provide volunteer opportunities in events management, community services and natural therapies.
