The Australian Society for Performing Arts Healthcare supports high-quality, holistic healthcare for all in the performing arts industry. We recognise that all performing artists, young and old, amateur and professional, have unique needs that may not be met by standard models of healthcare.An organisation run almost entirely by a volunteer committee made up of healthcare professionals, performing artists, educators and researchers, it is the peak body for performing arts healthcare in Australia and has held national conferences annually since 2007.ASPAH promotes:* accessible high quality holistic healthcare for all performing artists;* education for health workers, teachers, performers and students to improve health and well-being;* research across disciplines relevant to the health and wellbeing of performing artists;* a culture of lifelong preventative healthcare and safety practices for performing artists and performing arts institutions;* multidisciplinary discourse among health professionals, educators and performing artists;* increased community awareness of performing arts healthcare issues.Visit our website to find out more about ASPAH, including: upcoming events, conference resources, grants, tip sheets and membership! www.aspah.org.au
