Introducing the Export Development Fund.

  1. Performance and Touring Activity
  2. Professional and Artistic Development
  3. Market and Audience Development

Tuesday 30 January 2024

A year ago today on the 30 January 2023, Prime Minister the Hon. Anthony Albanese MP and Minister for the Arts the Hon. Tony Burke MP announced Revive: a place for every story, a story for every place, the National Cultural Policy that would set the course for Australia’s arts, entertainment and cultural sector for the next five years.

Backed by $286 million in dedicated funding over four years, Revive’s centrepiece was the establishment of Creative Australia – the Government’s new principal arts investment and advisory body.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said: “Today we start a new chapter in Australia’s art and culture sector. I am excited by the potential it will unleash, and to see our extraordinary and diverse Australian stories continue to be told with originality, wit, creativity and flair. Revive builds on the proud legacies of earlier Labor governments that recognised the importance of art and culture to Australia’s identity, social unity and economic prosperity.”

Within Creative Australia the government announced the establishment of Music Australia – a dedicated new body to support and invest in the Australian contemporary music industry.

The Government passed The Creative Australia Act 2023 and the Creative Australia (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2023, that included its new functions, including Music Australia and its Council through the Senate on Friday 16 June 2023 and received Royal Assent on Friday 23 June 2023. Replacing the Australia Council Act 2013, the new legislation came into effect on Thursday 24 August 2023.

The second meeting of the Music Australia Council was held on 22 November, where the allocation for the 2023/2024 tranche of investment was agreed, along with the Terms of Reference.

The timing allowed for Music Australia to provide a significant uplift to Creative Australia investment programs that had recently been assessed by peers and industry respectively. Informing this uplift is the Council’s endorsement of a working definition for contemporary music to be used for initial investment decisions:

“Australian contemporary music is any genre or subgenre of music currently composed, written, produced by Australians and licensed, recorded, presented, and distributed through commercial and non-commercial activity. For the purposes of Music Australia’s initial investments, the focus will be on musical works that are new, original and relevant to contemporary Australia.”

$250,000 investment to develop programs aimed at young people entering the music industry, focusing on creative skills, small business practices, and increased sector capacity.

$250,000 investment, which will provide support and resources for Australian music managers, enhancing skills and business practices to thrive in the evolving industry landscape.   

$200,000 investment to support independent record labels and distributors, emphasising skills development, digital marketing, and the provision of an annual Awards show and industry conference.   

A $200,000 grant to partner with local councils to build the capacity of local live music communities, supporting grassroots live music ecologies as the foundation of the industry.   

By delivering a dedicated funding scheme for Australian music export, Music Australia will play an important role in expediting the profile and success stories of Australia’s future A-list artists and musicians, Grammy winners, festival headliners and celebrated music professionals.

Australian artists and music businesses can rarely be sustained by a domestic market alone. Committing funds for export will crucially assist with long term career sustainability and enable music businesses access to varied additional revenue streams across multiple territories, bolstering the overall economic performance of the sector.


There are three areas of export support for artists. For more detail on each category please use the links below.

Category 1: International Performance and Touring Activity

Category 2: International Professional and Artistic Development

Category 3: International Market and Audience Development

Watch our information and question and answer session here.


The establishment of the Music Australia Export Development Fund forms a bold partnership between the Australian Government and the Australian music industry – a matched funding initiative, designed to provide financial support to a diverse range of Australian artists at distinct phases of their international careers.

The Music Australia Export Development Fund offers targeted support for Australian artists at different career junctures by providing a bespoke grant program that targets three specific areas of export activity including; International Performance and Touring, International Professional and Artistic Development, and International Audience and Market Development.

The program has been developed to support emerging, breakthrough and established acts and is made available to Australian citizens or permanent residents who are current practicing music professionals. This includes solo artists, instrumentalists, bands, ensembles, DJ/producers and electronic artists, producers, songwriters and composers.

The objectives of the Music Australia Export Development Fund are to:

  • Relieve pressure of the substantial costs associated with international activity
  • Reduce risks associated with exporting
  • Provide access to global insights, cutting edge technologies and market development opportunities
  • Expedite international success for Australian artists
  • Strengthen the nation’s brand and trade relations. Exporting artists share Australian stories, culture, and perspectives with the world, helping to build national identity and contribute to cultural diplomacy and Australia’s reputation.

The intended outcomes of the Music Australia Export Development fund are to:

  • Increase Australian acts appearing at international festivals
  • Increase ticketed headline tours undertaken by Australian artists
  • Increase Australian acts chosen for international support tours
  • More Australian composers creating new works with international collaborators
  • More Australians featured on international “Best of Year”, “Ones to Watch” and “Breakthrough” lists
  • More Australian acts nominated for global music awards (Grammys, Brits, MTV)
  • Increased overseas radio airplay of Australian writers
  • Increased number of Australians featured on global streaming service playlists
  • More Australians featured as the music guest on international television shows
  • Overall increase in foreign revenue earnings by Australian artists and songwriters.

In applying the above definition of contemporary music to the Arts Projects categories, applications that were considered and prioritised that were considered strategically important or supported the creation and sharing of new Australian work across all music genres. These applications were assessed by the Music panel only and were ranked in unfunded excellence.

The following 32 contemporary music projects that applied to the September 2023 round of Arts Projects for Individuals and Groups, and Arts Projects for Organisations, have been funded as a direct result of Music Australia investment.
