The Bass Line survey is back for Edition III!

If you're part of Australia's music industry, your experiences, insights and perspectives matter.

🎵 What is The Bass Line? 🎵

The Bass Line is the first nationally consistent analysis of the economic contribution of Australia's music industry. It provides critical evidence about the size, value and impact of music across the country, informing industry advocacy, policy development and future investment.

📝 Completed The Bass Line survey in the past? 📝

It's particularly valuable for you to take part again each year for data continuity. The music industry is constantly evolving, and annual participation helps us track changes, identify emerging trends, and ensure the data reflects the realities of the sector today.

🎵 Completing the survey 🎵

✏️ The core survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete, although it may take a little longer for those working across multiple areas of the industry. You'll have the opportunity to answer additional questions if you have time.

✏️ The survey is anonymous and confidential, and you will not be asked to provide your name.

✏️ The survey is best completed on a computer, laptop or large-screen tablet, noting there may be a delay of a few seconds between questions.
