THE COLLECTIVE BACKBONE OF AUSTRALIAN MUSIC

Who We Are

The Australian Road Crew Association Pty Ltd (ARCA) is a non-profit proprietary company dedicated to helping ROADIES.

Roadies are the collective backbone of the Australian music industry. Roadies have technical ability that is unique and wide ranging. There is not a musician or band that would have become successful without crew.

The ARCA Constitution only allows the company to pursue charitable purposes by acting as trustee of one or more charitable trusts. It prohibits distribution of the company’s income or property to its shareholders and prohibits paying any fees whatsoever to its directors.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SEE THE HISTORY AND REGISTER WITH ARCA OR BECOME A MEMBER OR SPONSOR OF ARCA.

What We Do

The primary aim of ARCA is to facilitate and encourage social interaction between members on a continual basis. This will be achieved through social events and the ARCA website. Please register on the website even if you do not become a member.

The secondary aim of ARCA is to raise funds to help its members and crew.

We have recently come to an arrangement with Support Act who have offered their expertise in social and welfare issues and contacts, and have set up a ROADIE fund ONLY for crew. This is a fantastic collaboration for the future of ARCA and the industry.

We retain our autonomy and will still fundraise to help.

THE ROAD AHEAD

We want ARCA to survive all of us, to be able to serve the social and wherever possible financial needs of future members and to benefit the health of, and encourage communication between roadies. That is the Australian Road Crew Association’s ‘reason to exist’ to help mates and be proud to be a “Roadie”.
