Music transcends time, space and cultures 

Music captures moments, expresses cultural identity and evolves with new sounds and ideas. As an ever-changing force, it reflects creativity and shapes how we connect, create and understand each other. Creative Australia supports projects from all styles and genres of music, including contemporary, musical theatre, cabaret, orchestral, chamber music, traditional, experimental new music, sound art and opera. 

Investment can be directed towards the creation of new music, collaborations, presentation, performance or touring. Funding is provided directly to artists, musicians and composers, along with support and professional development opportunities for organisations, practitioners and industry professionals working in music. 

Music Australia is a dedicated body, established within Creative Australia, designed to support and invest in the Australian contemporary music industry.
