Mental Health and Wellbeing in Music and Live Performing Arts survey results

Choose an Option

Thank you to those who completed our Mental Health and Wellbeing in Music and the Creative Industries 2024 survey, we look forward to sharing the results with you in August!

The aim of the survey is to provide an updated picture of the mental health and wellbeing of people working across music and the creative industries in Australia; your responses to challenges including the rising cost of living, increased performing/production costs, loss of work, workplace safety and career concerns; and which services and supports you turn to for help.

Your answers will help us determine how we can better support you in the future through services such as the Wellbeing Helpline.

Conducted in conjunction with the Centre for Social Impact Swinburne with support from Entertainment Assist, the survey is open to anyone over the age of 16 who works in the creative industries in Australia including music, arts (community arts/community engaged practice; emerging and experimental arts; First Nations art and culture; multi-artform practice; performing arts and visual arts, craft and design), digital games, screen and writing.

 

2022 survey findings

In December 2022, we unveiled the second part of the research into Service Use, Effects and Social Return On Investment.

Please call the Wellbeing Helpline should you need support in your time of grief on 1800 959 500. The Helpline is available to family members of music workers who have passed away.
