Auspicing
Auspicing is a collaborative arrangement that can help artists leverage the strengths of one another to achieve shared goals, access resources, and manage projects more effectively.
This video will guide viewers through the intricacies of auspicing and emphasise the significant role Auspicious Arts and auspicing plays, particularly for smaller or less established artists, providing them with the means to undertake initiatives that might be challenging to tackle independently.

Insurance
Insurance is crucial in any project or production as it safeguards against unforeseen events. Whether it's damage to equipment, unexpected events, or accidents, insurance provides a financial cushion, giving you peace of mind and allowing your project to continue without major setbacks.
This video provides an overview of the Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and Travel Insurance policies held by Auspicious Arts, emphasising key coverage details, responsibilities, and exclusions.

Budgeting
A budget is more than just numbers; it's your project's strategic compass. It empowers you to plan and allocate resources effectively, including finances, time, and personnel.
In this video, learn how Auspicious Arts supports by creating a budget from the beginning or offering insights on changes for your funding application or project. Auspicious sees budgets as strategic guides, leading you through finances to be able to support your projects vision.

GST
GST is a broad-based tax that applies to most goods, services, and other items sold or consumed in Australia. The standard GST rate is 10% of the price of the goods or services.
This video explains how GST operates in budgets managed by Auspicious for your projects, highlighting its interaction with grants and funding to provide insights for effective project management within Australia's taxation framework.
Presenting Artist: Kush KT Kuiy, Artist and Producer
Superannuation
Superannuation is vital for retirement savings in Australia, growing through long-term investments and contributions during your working years. Employers contribute a percentage of your income to your super fund, and you can add extra voluntary contributions within limits.
This video will guide you on whether your project team needs superannuation, why it is required and how Auspicious will assist you in including it in your budget.
