The Australian Writers’ Guild continues to fight against unfair treatment of writers both for the writers’ sake and in support of a healthy industry.
We are negotiating new industrial terms and conditions and have developed a new range of model contracts and minimum recommended terms and conditions. Our service for members ups the ante on contract negotiations and adherence. Solidarity is fundamental to winning these battles.
Support the guild that works hard for you and your fellow writers, and call on our services to fight for what you are worth.
Join the Australian Writers’ Guild today to access exclusive benefits and resources. Be part of the community of writers fighting for writers’ rights and fair remuneration.
The Australian Writers’ Guild is the professional association representing writers for stage, screen, audio and interactive and has protected and promoted their creative and professional interests for more than 60 years.
The Guild’s vision is to see performance writing and performance writers thrive as a dynamic and integral part of Australian storytelling, shaping, reflecting and enhancing the Australian cultural voice in all its diversity.
