MusicACT, National Film and Sound Archive, Canberra (2026)

People need to be reminded of the important role music plays in our lives. MusicACT formed to strengthen this role by opening access to all aspects of the music industry including legal advice, assistance to launch outside of the ACT or advance a music related concept, as well as political lobbying, advising, and, of course, professional development.
