Our Research*

  • “In various jobs I have been extremely careful to not mention my child, virtually pretending not to have a child.”

    ​

    - Female Full-time Executive

  • “Parents and carers are an asset to all artistic industries. We are missing out on their skills and stories without them. We need parents and carers in the industry!”

    ​

    - Female Full-time Producer

  • “Not knowing the hours you are going to

    be working until late the evening before.

    My wife makes our main income, but my

    lack of certainty in hours makes it hard to

    contribute to caring for our child.”

    ​

    - Male Freelance On-Set Crew

  • “...It is near impossible to break the traditional mould of ‘mother as primary carer’ and

    ‘father as full-time worker’.”
