The entertainment industry is known for its unpredictability. From actors auditioning for countless roles to crew members adapting to ever-changing production demands, resilience becomes a vital asset. It's more than just bouncing back from setbacks; it's about thriving in an industry that can be as tough as it is rewarding.

While the arts and entertainment sector brings an enormous amount of joy to Australians, recent research has identified that performers, technicians and other support workers experience an unusually high incidence of depression, anxiety and other aspects of mental distress that are also leading to high rates of suicide.
Entertainment Assist is dedicated to raising awareness about mental health in the Australian entertainment industry by commissioning research, for workplace and educational transformation and identifying support pathways for those in distress.
