The new initiative taking Victoria’s music industry to the world

Thanks to a new Andrews Labor Government initiative, Victorian music managers and record labels will receive opportunities to create international business connections and experiences to benefit the state’s music industry.

The Music Passport program has been produced by the Labor Government, the Australian Independent Record Labels Association, the Association of Artist Managers, Sounds Australia and Melbourne Music Week’s Face the Music conference.

The program will provide international fellowships, showcases and inbound visits to allow those in the Victorian music industry to establish global networks and succeed in international markets.

“As well as being a vital part of our culture, music is a big business for this state,” said Martin Foley, Minister for Creative Industries. “Music Passport helps build businesses, strengthen careers and create new opportunities to take Victorian music to the world.”

In addition to Music Passport, the Labor Government has added new Music Works grants that will provide more than 800 music industry professionals with grants totalling over $500,000.
