Support Act recognises and celebrates the incredible contribution made by crew – past, present and in the future – to the Australian music industry.
We’re proud to partner with the following organisations:
CrewCare
CrewCare is a volunteer not-for-profit charity, dedicated to improving the welfare of all production workers in the live music industry sector, including technical and backstage personnel, their loved ones and all who work or have worked ‘behind the scenes’ in Australian live music. Its aim is to effect change for the better in crew welfare – personally, financially and professionally.
Australian Road Crew Association (ARCA)
ARCA is a non-profit proprietary company dedicated to helping roadies. Together we recognise and celebrate the incredible contribution made by crew to the Australian music industry.
Services
We encourage all crew to utilise these services and share this information with anyone who might benefit.
Crisis Relief Support
Crisis Relief Grants and support are available to musicians, managers, crew and music workers across all genres experiencing financial hardship as the result of illness, injury, mental health, older age or another current crisis that is impacting their ability to work in music.Â
Wellbeing Helpline
A free phone counselling service for anyone working in Australian music or the arts, easily accessed by calling 1800 959 500.
You don’t have to be in a crisis to call the Helpline. Sometimes you just need to talk it out.
Help A Mate
An opportunity for friends, family and/or work colleagues to raise money for a crew member who is in need or suffering hardship or distress.

PLUG-IN
Being the first to arrive and the last to leave isn’t easy. It can be a challenge to stay safe, keep focussed and remain calm and grounded, given the high job demands faced at work.
Consider our Plug-In resources to be your digital mental health support pack, for when you need to take a moment and come back to baseline.
