Support Act

Support Act is Australia’s only charity delivering crisis relief services to artists, crew and music workers as a result of ill health, injury, a mental health problem, or some other crisis that impacts on their ability to work in music.
Support Act raises funds from the music industry and its supporters. This can be in the form of donations, sponsorship, community fundraising, Help a Mate appeals, events such as our annual “Music in the House” industry lunch, and promotions such as Ausmusic T-Shirt Day.

In May 2020, Support Act received a grant of $10million from the Australian Government through the Office for the Arts to provide crisis relief and wellbeing support to artists, crew and music workers impacted by COVID-19.
