What exactly does the VMDO do? 👀

We’re here to help Victoria’s music industry grow, connect and thrive.

From building skills and supporting local jobs to sharing research and creating new opportunities, our focus is on strengthening Victoria’s music ecosystem.

One of our projects is the Victorian Music Finder. The first of its kind, VMF is a tool to help creatives find Victorian music to licence for film, ads or other content, and in its first year helped Victorian artists secure significant income from sync partnerships!
