Find out when the survey opens
This important sector survey will be open soon.
Share your experiences and help create the first national picture of what it’s really like to work in Australia’s creative industries.
The Creative Workplaces Survey will help us understand the working experiences of people in Australia’s creative industries.
It focuses on key workplace issues including:
- pay and working conditions
- safety at work, and
- bullying, discrimination, harassment.
What we learn will help us to determine future policies, support programs, advocacy efforts and training opportunities aimed at improving standards and safety in creative workplaces.
We invite you to take part if you are:
- 18 years or older
- an Australian resident for tax purposes
- an artist or arts worker — paid or unpaid, creative, technical or support — in the Australian creative industries.
Am I an 'artist' or 'arts worker'?
If you think you are, then you are.
If you’re not sure, then probably also yes.
This survey is for every type of artist and arts worker, from creatives to technical, production and crew to administrative support. It's for people in all roles and career stages, whether full-time, casual, freelance or volunteer.
We know that not all practitioners and workers in Australia’s creative industries identify with the term ‘artist’ and ‘arts worker’, and that there are many different ways creative industries are measured and described.

Is my industry a ‘creative’ industry?
If you think you work in a creative industry, you probably do.
We take a really broad definition of creative industry. We include everything from visual arts to music, theatre to museums, digital games to comedy, literature to circus to screen, and anything in between.
