Make Your Own Fun is the latest addition to Equity’s professional program. Based in Melbourne, Make Your Own Fun is aimed at performer members who are trying to get their own project and productions up and running, or who are thinking they might like to develop other tools in their arsenal - like writing, directing or producing. More information available here...

The Equity Foundation is now accepting applications for performer members looking to be mentored in New South Wales and Victoria. The application form for the program is available here and a Frequently Asked Questions sheet here. Applications close 5pm, Friday 1st September 2006.

The Equity Professional Program is happy to announce that in 2006 the Equity Dollars & Sense seminars will be held in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. This seminar has been re-worked based on feedback members in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland gave us last year, and is designed to address issues such as what performers can claim on tax, how to handle superannuation when you have low or sporadic income or work multiple jobs, the differences tax wise for employees and contractors and how to get into good, simple habits to manage your finances better.
