Hi there, In the UK we have a handbook for the entertainment industry published annually called 'Contacts' which contains information/addresses and contact details for Casting Directors and Agencies. Is there a similar book published in Australia? Or a similar resource? Many thanks for your help. Skelce

Not the Same

Sadly, we are not quite as 'with-it' as the English Scene. Someone, please correct me if I am wrong, but I am not aware of any definitive agency reference like they have in the UK.

The UK Scene is of course far more alive and vibrant than Oz, and some may even go as far to say that they is still a very strong negative stigma against Theatre, Casting, etc in Australia. Mind you, recent trends would indicate a ongoing turn around in that department.

The most comprehensive list that I personally am aware of is located at the MEAA Union Website - www.alliance.org.au

More specifically http://www.alliance.org.au/resources/agent_lists_%26_related_information/

Please note the disclaimer at the top of this last link -

Inclusion on these lists does not constitute an endorsement of any Agent or Agency by the Alliance.

Best of luck.
