As well as providing services to individual members, the AWG is also about enhancing Australian performance writing as a whole.
In this role, the AWG’s vision is to see performance writing and performance writers thrive as a dynamic and integral part of Australian storytelling; shaping, reflecting and enhancing Australia’s cultural voice in all its diversity.
We work closely with our experienced and highly-regarded members to undertake research, lobbying, advocacy and strategic initiatives on behalf of screen, stage, radio and interactive writers collectively.
The AWG is the voice of performance writers in federal and state governments, industry bodies, sector organisations and the wider community, promoting the role, recognition and reward for performance writing in Australian society and culture.
The Australian Writers’ Guild welcomes the recommendation from the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training that would see developers required to prove that their AI systems have not been trained using creatives’ intellectual property.
