Safe Arts and Entertainment For ALL

Sign and share our petition so Australian producers and venues help us safely access our beloved entertainment industries!

Why is this important?

We’re urgently calling on our Arts and Entertainment industry to make shows safe and accessible for everyone. 

Getting infected with Covid can have dire and incurable consequences for anyone, but especially for the most vulnerable in our communities. 

As an industry whose work predominantly occurs indoors and in crowded spaces, accessing Arts and Entertainment is currently a high risk activity. 

This has seen many people decrease the amount of shows they attend or stop attending shows altogether.

Alongside this, the constant circulation of Covid and other respiratory viruses has seen a rise in audiences buying tickets last minute because they’re not sure if they’ll be well enough to attend on the day. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. 

Having a good night out at a show shouldn’t have to happen at the risk of our health and, for many, our lives. 

Keeping the industry open shouldn’t have to happen at the risk of the industry’s sustainability and security. 

We have the tools to provide communities with safe and accessible Arts and Entertainment. 

These tools include, but are not limited to:
  • Effective air filtration at venues
  • Mask mandatory performances
  • Ticket exchange flexibility where appropriate
  • Better communication regarding keeping each other safe and;
  • Continuing commitment to online programming

We ask that producers and venues meet with us to discuss how we can use these tools and others to ensure the industry is accessible and safe for everyone so that it can flourish in a secure and sustainable way.
