Who We Are
The Australian Road Crew Association Limited (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. Contact us here to get onto the regularly infrequent newsletter 🙂
The secondary aim of ARCA is to raise funds to help its members and crew.
