What we do.

Pushworth’s business is Hospitality Client Service.

We work with a diverse range of Hospitality chains and Independent hotels and clubs.

Our brief is to field enquiries for specific dates, requirements and budgets.

Once registered in our system and hub, your act will be added to hundreds of other live music artists.

The Booking Process.

Once one of the bookers is given a brief to book a live act for a Venue they do the following:

Run a Search in our system to match the brief scope – Act Type (Band, Duo, Solo, DJ), Genre and Style, Demographic Appeal, Digital Metrics Reach, Experience and Reviews with similar shows, Geographic Proximity and falls within the Budget of the Venue.
If your act is included in the matches for that algorithm, and your Google Calendar doesn’t show a booking on that date, our booker will text you with an offer. SO KEEP YOUR PHONE HANDY WITH YOUR AVAILS READY TO GO
To ensure the venue gets the best options for that date, a number of acts will be offered that spot so please get back to the booker asap with a yes or a no so that they can take their offer to the venue and pitch you as part of their submission.
The venue confirms their selection.
The booker confirms the show with you and issues you with a Booking Contract.
This will be emailed to the Main Booking Contact email address.

Make sure you read the https://pushworth.com/artist-code/ and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us [email protected]

Is there a Safety Standard for Artists?

You must check in with the Duty Manager 60 MINUTES PRIOR TO START TIME for each Performance for Induction and Brief of Event Requirements. You email your annual Public Liability Certicate of Currency $20 Million to Pushworth. You keep your SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement) on your phone at all times. You get all Leads tagged each 6 months. You refer all potential safety issues on stage with audience to the venue security guard. Absolutely no pyrotechnics or flammable liquids, open flames or burning allowed on stage.

Is there a Production Standard?

Unless specified in the contract, you will need to supply your own production and lighting. Your Production must suit venue capacity with a minimum of 2 par 56s light cans at every show. You will ensure you have back up leads, batteries and a Gig Kit to minimize any potential technical difficulties.

Is there a Marketing Standard?

For every show booked with Pushworth you will add a Facebook Event tagging the Venue and Pushworth. You will post on your Social Media a week before the show. You will provide current high resolution Marketing Assets to Pushworth to assist the venue with their Show Promotion.

Is there a Hospitality Standard?

Unless specified in your contract, Venues are only obligated to provide free soft drinks and water. When meals and alcoholic beverages are provided by the venue, we ask that you respect the venue by being professional and reasonable at all times with your request

Is there a Cancellation Policy?

If Venue cancels within the require notice time, we will negotiate for a replacement date. If you cancel, you will be required to provide a DR certificate, Police Report, Written Reason for Cancellation. Cancellation Fees may apply.

Cancelling Gigs Due to Illness

You are required to provide no less than 24 hours notice. Calling on a Sunday morning three hours before a gig is not an option. Your responsibility is to manage your health so you will know when you are beginning to feel ill. Cancel the show then. You WILL be charged a cancellation fee as there is a great deal of work involved in finding a suitable replacement artist at the last minute. Your best contingency is a strong wellness program.

Who pays Pushworth?

If we represent you, then you will be charged a fee. If you use one of our Social Media, Coaching or Consultant packages, you will be charged a fee. If we work with Promoters and Clients and recruit you to work at one of their events, they will be charged a fee.

How much can I expect to be paid?

The median payment per performer is between $75 and $100.00 an hour. A negotiation factor is the market strength of your brand. No app can negotiate that on your behalf. Pushworth works with each artist to build their market value and brand profile by strategising key supports, regional shows and market reach with 50% of its roster achieving payment outside the MEAA and Corporate Chain payment structure.

How can Pushworth help me with my annual tax?

You have access to annual statements. You will always be sent a remittance for each payment.

You are. You will either operate under an ABN or you will operate under an ATO approved Hobby Status. In your Onobarding, you will provide these details. You are responsible for your own Taxation obligations.

Who is responsible for my Super?

You are.

The Artist retains full creative control over the performance style, song selection, and equipment used, and is contracted to achieve a specific result: to entertain the audience and contribute to the atmosphere of the event.

All performance agreements are for a result-based service, not for labour or hours worked, and do not constitute an employment or labour hire relationship. The Artist is solely responsible for their own superannuation and tax obligations.
