    MEAA Musicians Australia Gig Map

  • Musicians Australia is the union for Australia's working musicians, part of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA).

    Our members are building a nationwide Gig Map to find out who pays and who doesn't. The Gig Map, along with our Campaign for a Minimum Fee, are part of our plan to build a better, fairer and more sustainabile music industry.

  • Our members have won recognition of the minimum fee for publicly funded gigs from every state and territory government, with the exception of NT.

    This means that if a venue, festival or event has received government funding, musicians must be paid the $250 minimum fee (per musician, per gig).

    If you’re not sure whether your gig was funded, you can find a list of funding recipients for various programs on the website of your relevant state government or arts agency:

    • Federal: Office for the Arts
    • NSW: Create NSW
    • VIC: Creative VIC
    • QLD: Arts Queensland
    • SA: CreateSA
    • TAS: Arts Tasmania
    • WA: Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries
    • ACT:artsACT
    • NT: ArtsNT
