Safety at BIGSOUND

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING

SETTING HIGH STANDARDS FOR SAFETY

SAFE
WELCOME
TOGETHER

Music plays a part in bringing about real behavioural change within our community, and as we celebrate the future of music at BIGSOUND, we are committed to ensuring everyone feels safe and welcome.

Safety at BIGSOUND is underpinned by QMusic’s Concert Care initiative, developed in consultation with the QMusic Safety & Diversity Advisory Group.

Through Concert Care, we believe it’s possible to set the ground rules of acceptable behaviour, empower others to be proactive, showcase best practice, and collaborate and partner with industry to drive real positive change.

At BIGSOUND, Concert Care means safer spaces, support services, better systems, and increased awareness and education.

Events like BIGSOUND couldn’t happen without the artists, industry, audiences, partners, contractors, staff, and vollies that make it happen – and we recognise we all share a Collective Responsibility to make sure everybody is safe and welcome at the music industry event of the year!
