General Marketplace Questions
Pushworth is a Marketplace for Music Buyers and facilitates Show contracts on their behalf.
Pushworth does not employ Music Artists or Service Suppliers.
Pushworth is not your Agent in the Marketplace unless you have an exclusive contract offer with them to represent your brand in specific markets.
We hold a Private Employment Agents Licence under Queensland law, authorising us to broker and coordinate entertainment services — but not to employ performers or provide labour hire.
No.
All entertainers working through Pushworth are independent contractors and operate as their own business entities (sole trader, company, partnership, trust).
Pushworth does not:
- Employ performers
- Pay wages
- Deduct tax
- Make superannuation contributions
- Provide labour hire services
You manage your own tax, insurance, and superannuation obligations.
No.
Onboarding makes you eligible to be pitched, promoted, and contracted when suitable opportunities arise.
Your chances of receiving Shows depend on:
- Demand
- Availability
- Branding and marketing assets
- Client preferences
- Past performance
- Fit for specific venue demographics
- Responsiveness to offers
- Your social media presence, following, and engagement metrics
We book:
- Soloists
- Duos
- Cover Bands
- Tribute Shows
- DJs
- Acoustic and loop artists
- Variety and specialty acts
- Premium concert performers
If your act services the hospitality, corporate or private event market — we likely have Show opportunities for you.
