about the australian alliance for wellness in entertainment
The Australian Alliance for Wellness in Entertainment (AAWE) is an Entertainment Assist cross-sector peer-to-peer initiative, for shared interest in positive mental health and wellbeing behaviours for a sustainable Australian entertainment industry. The AAWE Advisory Group is a collaboration of the following peak organisations:
AAWE’s mental health partner is Everymind (formerly Hunter Institute for Mental Health).
The purpose of the AAWE is to draw upon peak organisation and leaders' insights and expertise to reduce the sector’s high incidence of suicide, anxiety, depression and substance abuse.
Industry leaders recognise the economic and creative sustainability of our sector is adversely affected by the widely recognised impacts on health and wellbeing of shift work, substance abuse, touring and stress arising from a high incidence of bullying, assault, sexism and racism.
We invite Australian Entertainment Industry people to become AAWE members and commit to a Statement of Values around respect, integrity, empathy, courage and collaborative leadership with an aim to champion practical support and monitoring the mental health and wellbeing of industry professionals.
