Record Label Development Scheme

The Music Australia Record Label Development Scheme aims to support competitive Australian labels that take risks discovering, developing and promoting Australian talent to local and global markets.

At the heart of what they do, labels finance the production and recording of artists’ music to support their artistic and career development. Labels are taking on financial risk and providing the essential support, knowledge, and expertise required for artists to break through the noise.

Concerns with Australian artist discoverability, the fragmented media environment, and impacts of changing technologies and AI-generated music, are all significantly impairing the ability of labels to remain financially viable, and subsequently invest in and support Australian talent.

This investment will make sure Australian labels can continue to compete effectively, support their artists, and contribute to the vibrant music ecosystem in Australia.

Grants are available from $15,000 to $125,000 to eligible Australian record labels, and Australian subsidiaries of multinational record labels, that have been operating for a minimum of 3 years.
