Why Vote Music?

NSW is the natural home for the Australian contemporary music industry, injecting $3.6 billion in economic, social and cultural value to the state. But after a decade of challenges, music in NSW is not flourishing as it should

With a state election on March 25, we’re asking candidates from all sides of politics to support the future of music in NSW. Our policy paper has been developed through extensive consultation with music workers and businesses across the state.

We have three key asks:

  1. Establish a Contemporary Music Office in government to drive music development. 

  2. Provide significant government investment in artists, and industry initiatives.

  3. Protecting and building venues, festivals and spaces to make NSW a proud home of contemporary music.
