Health & Wellbeing for the Arts

In 2019, the team at CentreStage revised the cultural framework policy to redefine what being part of our culture looks like. It outlines the desired behaviours required to create a highperforming workforce that delivers a successful world leading theatre company. This includes strategies that build trust, transparency and accountability in all our relationships. 

The Cultural Framework 2020-2025 (Framework) has been designed to embed both the cultural and employee engagement priorities outlined in the Corporate Plan and Strategic Direction. This is an ongoing commitment to our people and our Ecosystem. At Centrestage we our culture is intended to support our people and participants to be the best they can, by building the environment that allows this to happen. 

As a company, we are only as good as our people. Our volunteers, students, performers and staff are all valuable assets and members of our community. We like to treat them as such and part of that, is recognising the importance of our people’s health and wellbeing.

Through rebranding and a revised cultural framework, we made a pledge to work tirelessly to identify, support and accommodate the needs of our theatre community from a health perspective. In order to achieve this, we have established some integral networks to partner with – Beyond Blue and the Arts Wellbeing Collective.

CentreStage aims to promote positive health and mental health in our performance space and beyond. We acknowledge the toll that performing can take on our bodies and our minds and this is monitored closely by our team. Through education and resources, we are proud to support our people. We are constantly growing, learning and working with best practice to keep CentreStage as a safe and supportive environment for all
