Clive Miller, CEO of Support Act, highlighted the importance of Australian music, stating, “Australian music is more than just the soundtrack to our lives – it’s a reflection of the strength and creativity of individuals and our industry. With the rising cost of living – and the cost of making music – the people who make up our vital industry are facing more challenges than ever before. When they find themselves in crisis, Support Act is there – supporting musicians, managers, crew and music workers through crisis relief support, mental health and wellbeing programs, the Support Act Wellbeing Helpline, and dedicated First Nations support.”
