Review of the Entertainment Industry Act 1989

Are you an actor, singer, musician, dancer, model, acrobat or other type of performer? Do you have a manager or do you use an agent to set up work for you?

If so, the NSW Government wants to hear from you.

Tell us about your experiences, good and bad.

The NSW Government regulates entertainment industry agents, managers and venue consultants (booking agents) through the Entertainment Industry Act 1989. These people must comply with a range of rules about how much they can charge, how they handle money on your behalf and what information they must disclose to you.

The Government is reviewing the regulation to make sure it is protecting performers.
Help us to protect your livelihood by making sure agents and managers are working in your best interests.

The Office of Industrial Relations and the Better Regulation Office have released an Options Paper that seeks to identify alternative ways to regulate the industry and cut unnecessary red tape.
