Update: March 18, 2026

The AAM made a submission to the NSW Live Music Inquiry, which you can access HERE.

The timing of this inquiry is poignant, but also heartening to have an opportunity to put these conditions under the spotlight, especially with a music-friendly state government. 

In this submission, we highlight initiatives that have been critical to the development of local artists (Michael’s Rule) and to reinforcing the value of artist managers (Entertainment Industry Act). We’ve also made policy recommendations that we feel are the best way to push forward, and are an opportunity for NSW to lead by example.
