Youth Representation Ages 4 – 16
YTH / 2026

Representation
for young
performers.

CentreStage represents children and young people across screen, stage, musical theatre, commercial and voice work. We partner with parents and guardians throughout, with a focus on industry-readiness, professional standards, and the wellbeing of every young performer on our books.

We work with children aged 4 to 16.

We help them get work in TV, films, plays, ads, and voice jobs.

We always work with the parent or carer. We keep the child safe.

Ages four through sixteen
Response within two working days
Parent or guardian leads the enquiry
We never publish information about minors

Youth fee structure

Transparent, written down, and explained out loud before you sign.

{[ { tag: 'Annual membership', price: '$245', unit: '+ GST / year', note: 'Onboarding, profile management, annual professional headshots*, and access to our behind-the-scenes resource lab.', }, { tag: 'Commission', price: '10%', unit: 'on confirmed paid work', note: 'Standard industry commission on income the agency secures for your child. No work, no commission.', }, { tag: 'Management fee', price: '10%', unit: 'on confirmed paid work', note: 'Covers the day-to-day management of each booking — contracts, scheduling, on-set liaison, payment follow-up.', }, ].map((f, i) => (

{f.note}

))}

* Our annual membership is approximately 40% less than the Australian industry average, and our commission rates sit below industry standards. We follow MEAA guidelines and place performers at the heart of everything we do. Annual professional headshots are included for Victoria-based talent. Talent based outside Victoria can access our headshot program at cost during a scheduled CentreStage shoot day, or arrange their own. Membership renews annually; commission and management fees apply only to confirmed and paid bookings the agency secures.
