We’re thrilled to share with you the pilot phase of our brand new Mentally Healthy Workplaces Program, designed to promote mental health awareness, psychological safety, positive cultural and behavioural change in the Australian music industry.
The 18-month program features a wealth of industry-specific, evidence-based training programs, designed and delivered in collaboration with industry leaders in the fields of mental health, behavioural change and organisational psychology.
It will assist participants to meet their legal obligations under the new Respect@Work legislation by taking proactive and meaningful action to prevent gender-based harassment, discrimination, bullying or victimisation from occurring in the workplace or in connection to work.
It also supports eight of the 17 recommendations of the Music Industry Review, and is a practical and quantifiable means of making real progress towards sustained cultural and behavioural change.
Our Wellbeing Content and Programs Lead/Psychologist, Ash King, explains what it’s all about:
The Mentally Healthy Workplaces Program is flexible and dynamic, designed to run over 18 months and split into six three month ‘chunks’. Each chunk includes a Hero Offering workshop and quarterly perks including a dedicated wellbeing EDM, Digital Brunch Bootcamp and team Support Session.
In line with our First Nations Strategic Plan, the program will deliver culturally intelligent, respectful and trustworthy support to all First Nations peoples accessing it.
With the new Creative Australia Bill passing parliament last week, including the new Creative Workplaces body to raise and set workplace standards, there’s never been a more important time to ensure your workplace is mentally healthy.

Support Act acknowledges and pays its respects to First Nations peoples and recognises the role of intergenerational song practitioners in establishing the rich and diverse music practices that exist today.
