Country Music Census 2025

 

In 2019, the CMAA conducted landmark sector research which resulted in a comprehensive report, ‘The Economic and Cultural Value of Country Music in Australia 2018'.

 

That report was the first in 20 years focused specifically on country music.

 

We are delighted to report that the CMAA has been awarded significant funding to document the current state-of-play in our industry.
