About Ozstream
Ozstream has made it our business to connect Australia’s artists, venues, industry and audience in new and innovative ways.
The idea for Ozstream was born as a way of giving back to friends and family who work in the creative and performing arts and seeing the devastating impacts the pandemic years had on their ability to do what they love.
Ozstream isn’t just about people. It is just as much about venues and business owners, who also experienced financial strain and hardship when they were unable to open their doors. They now find themselves facing difficulties in finding and retaining staff, and in their ability to source suitable artists, musicians or entertainers.

Once you understand the impacts which follow on from a decade of underinvestment, you quickly come to appreciate the complex web of challenges Australia’s creative and performing arts industries is now facing.
Our vision is to ensure every Australian artist is supported by a living wage. We seek to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity, by leveraging technology, to better connect those in the industry. In turn, our products empower artists by enabling them to pursue their passion without facing financial constraints.
Ozstream recognises that the success of many artistic pursuits only occurs through the support received by venues, industry and audience. As such, Ozstream seeks to innovate, providing tools and resources which make it easier for venues to find performers, for industry to engage, and for audiences to discover what’s going on.
Artists of all forms, be they musicians, entertainers, writers, or creatives, should all be seen as professionals who are shaping our cultural identity. Driven by a desire to see artists receive fair compensation and recognition of their contributions, Ozstream is collaborating closely with industry leaders to develop a range of programs to help revitalise the creative and performing arts industry in Australia.
At Ozstream, we recognise that change isn’t easy and success won’t be achieved overnight. We’re not afraid of putting in the work required to see us achieve our goals. We will always embrace challenges head-on, for it is our firm belief that contained within the challenges the industry now faces, exist the keys to unlocking the opportunities of the future. We make no apologies for the fact that we’re advocates for change, we will be shaking things up and we’ll make sure we’re all having fun as we question the status-quo.
Let’s revolutionise the way artists, musicians, writers, venues, industry and audience connect, collaborate, network and proper, let’s work together to shape a new future for Australia’s creative and performing arts industry.
