First Nations Programs and Events for creatives
Support Act offers culturally grounded training created and delivered by First Nations practitioners. Our programs, including Voices Amplified, help creative workplaces build genuine cultural safety, strengthen inclusion, and understand the unique pressures facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers.
Sessions support respectful communication, safer team dynamics and more responsive leadership, giving organisations the skills to foster environments where First Nations creatives can thrive.

Here's what we offer
Voices Amplified
A five-hour online or full day in-person workshop framed around the idea of cultural responsiveness, embedded with mental health and cultural awareness. The purpose is to learn about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) from a primarily First Nations perspective, in the context of the creative industries.
Yarning Strong
A series of online and in-person panel discussions that explore topics from mental health to creativity with panellists sharing their own lived experiences to uplift the First Nations creative community, and the wider music and creative industry community.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid (ATSI MHFA)Â
A nationally accredited training program that empowers you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to recognise, connect and effectively support First Nations people who may be experiencing mental health issues or a mental health crisis.Â

The serious stuff
Support Act is a registered Public Benevolent Institution (PBI).
This means our primary purpose is to relieve distress, hardship and suffering, and to support people who are experiencing, or are at risk of, significant vulnerability.
Our PBI status reflects our commitment to delivering programs that provide genuine public benefit, are responsibly governed, and remain focused on supporting those who need help most across the music and creative industries.
Creating culturally safe and inclusive workplaces is essential to support First Nations peoples to thrive, feel valued and confident to share their culture and contributions within the creative industry.
