The Entertainment Diversity Committee works with industry stakeholders to help create an inclusive industry and develop a more realistic representation on Australia’s screens and stages.

The committee was established to recommend policies, advocate support structures and broadly address issues of diversity. The committee considers diverse casting to include the casting of culturally and linguistically diverse performers, women performers and performers with disability in roles where race, ethnicity, sexual preference, gender or the presence or absence of a disability is not relevant. For further information or to get involved, contact Egan Sun-Bin at egan.sunbin@meaa.org.
