Creative Workplaces has commenced development of a national Code for the Australian contemporary music industry to support safer, more respectful and more inclusive workplaces.
The Code will respond to well-documented risks and harms identified in the landmark music industry Raising Their Voices report, including sexual harm, sexual harassment, and systemic discrimination. It commits the contemporary music industry to practical, preventative and proportionate reform that can be meaningfully applied across the diverse settings in which contemporary music is created, performed and produced.
Creative Workplaces acknowledges the extraordinary work already being led across the contemporary music industry to address the issues highlighted in the Raising Their Voices report. The national Code is being developed in partnership with the sector to continue and strengthen this work.
