Equity Foundation

Equity Foundation The Equity Foundation is the professional development arm of Actors Equity Australia. Our mission is to assist, educate and inspire actors.

The Equity Foundation – the professional development arm of Actors Equity – was established in 2002 to oversee Equity’s publications, awards and extensive professional program. The Equity Foundation is independent from Actors Equity but offers substantive services to Equity members, free of charge. The Foundation relies solely on the support from grants, corporate sponsorships, bequests and indivi

dual contributions to maintain our programs and create new ones. We also want to thank Media Super for their ongoing support of The Equity Foundation and for helping make this all possible.
