Talent agency declaration

Protecting child performers is everyone's role. Every talent agent, director, officer, partner or person who directs the affairs of a talent agency will be required to submit a notarized declaration to be issued a talent agency licence.

A notarized statutory declaration is required as part of a talent agency application for each:

• Director
• Officer
• Partner
• Talent agent
• Other person who directs the affairs of a talent agency

Each declaration only needs to be provided once. Talent agency licence renewal applications must provide new declarations for each new director, officer, partner, or person who directs the affairs of a talent agency that joins the agency.

Download the appropriate declaration form depending on your requirements:

• Declaration for talent agents (PDF, 59.6KB)
• Declaration for officers, directors and partners (PDF, 61.6KB) (including any person who directs the affairs of a talent agency)

Licence applications won't be processed until a copy of each declaration is received. Have your documents ready to upload when you apply for or renew a talent agency licence.

The declaration sets standards for appropriate conduct and child safety

Talent agencies promoting child performers must conduct themselves appropriately and take seriously their obligation to ensure all people working with children act safely and appropriately.

Children are most at risk from people in a position of trust or power who use their position to harm a child. The Code of Conduct for Working With Child Performers (PDF, 376.3KB) outlines the shared responsibility between parents, guardians and agencies that work with child performers to protect the safety of children.
