PAC Australia - APAX

APRA AMCOS applauds Prime Minister Albanese’s clear and unequivocal support for Australia’s artists, creators and copyright holders, following the establishment of a new Office of AI.

“The Prime Minister has made it clear. The future of AI development in Australia must respect creator rights, that permission and payment must be sought, and crucially, the creative economy must benefit from AI innovation and development in Australia,” said APRA AMCOS Chief Executive Dean Ormston.

The new Office of AI presents a landmark opportunity to ensure Australian creators are paid for the value they generate, turning creativity into lasting national wealth.

Change. Risk. A hopeful future.

Is it time to re-stump this house we call the performing arts sector — better foundations, not just a fresh coat of paint on the same walls?

APAX 2026 starts from a simple premise: change isn't coming, it's already here. It's time to tackle the tectonic shifts within the sector, starting at your own doorstep. Moving away from a diagnosis of what's holding us back, we'll move firmly into treating the condition — and what that looks like in your community, regardless of its size and scale.

Change is here. The good, the bad, and hopefully, the brave. Are you ready?
