Workshop resources
The Arts Industry Council of South Australia (AICSA) recently conducted research into workplace health and safety in the SA arts sector. The results of this survey highlighted the poor mental health of artists and arts workers and the extent that this is impacted by wages and job precarity in the sector.
On Tuesday 16 July 2024, AICSA hosted this mental health workshop at the Mill, which was designed to delve into the results of our research, hear about services available and tailored specifically to the sector, and discuss actions towards addressing the poor mental health in the sector.
Speakers included:
- Welcome to Country from Jack Buckskin (Kuma Kaaru)
- AICSA General Manager, Kim Roberts, spoke to the results of AICSA’s WHS and Financial Wellbeing research
- Ash King, Wellbeing Content and Programs Lead / Psychologist, Support Act
- Joanne Knolder, Principal Communications Adviser, Office of the Mental Health Commissioner for South Australia, on behalf of the Mental Health Commissioner for South Australia
