Are there fees to join IWM?
No. IWM does charge an annual administrative fee of $25 to cover postage etc.
What commission do you charge?
As a member of the Australian Drama Agents Association, an industry body that exists to regulate and promote proper practice amongst drama agents, IWM charges the industry standard – 11% (inc GST) for all theatre, film and TV drama work and 16.5% (inc GST) for television commercials and corporate work. Please note also that IWM has a policy of charging commission on the entire run of play for live theatre and musical theatre.
Do I have to sign a contract?
Yes. As a condition of representation you will agree to maintain a current subscription to AT2 and Showcast at all times, to keep your headshots and CV up-to-date and to be contactable at short notice.
How many actors does IWM represent?
Approximately 85.
As an existing member of Centrestage Children’s Agency, am I guaranteed entry into Ian White Management when I turn 20?
No. Entry into IWM will depend upon your skill level, training undertaken and our assessment of your professionalism. Some concessions are made for young performers – both by us in the agency and by industry professionals – but those concessions necessarily cease to be extended to adult performers. We therefore have to be sure that you are ready to follow through your commitment to performing as a career and that you will represent the adult agency in a positive and professional light. Decisions are made on an individual basis.
