The Gig Factory Announces Free Compliance Support For Venues Nationwide

New Venue Compliance & Payments Platform removes the administrative burden of performer superannuation, payment administration and compliance reporting — at no cost to venues or artists.

Australian venues are already under pressure.

• Rising wages.
• Higher operating costs.
• Insurance increases.
• Utility costs.
• Staffing challenges.
• Growing compliance obligations.

And now, from July 1, venues are being asked to deal with additional administration associated with performer superannuation and evolving compliance requirements or face penalties.

At a time when venues are working harder than ever to maintain strong live entertainment programs for their communities, The Gig Factory believes the last thing they need is another software subscription, another platform fee, another login, another notification or another layer of administration around every performance.

Venues Are Tired Of Complexity

Many venue operators are telling us the same thing. They’re tired of managing multiple systems. Multiple logins. Multiple notifications. Multiple compliance processes, and increasing amounts of paperwork around what should be a simple entertainment booking.

We agree.

Many compliance solutions still require venues, agencies and artists to learn new systems, manage additional workflows, maintain records, reconcile payments and administer ongoing compliance processes. The Gig Factory has taken a different approach.

Our objective was not to create another system for venues to manage. Our objective was to remove the administration entirely.

A venue should be able to confirm a show, receive clear booking documentation, receive a simple invoice, maintain appropriate compliance records and get on with running their business.

That’s exactly what we have built.

The Gig Factory Compliance & Payments Platform

Over the past 12 months, The Gig Factory has invested heavily in building a comprehensive Compliance & Payments Platform designed specifically for the Australian live entertainment industry. The platform has been developed to simplify performer administration, superannuation compliance support, payment management, reporting and record keeping for venues and artists alike. Most importantly, it has been built to reduce administration, not create more of it. And unlike many industry solutions entering the market, it is provided to venues and artists completely free of charge.

Venues Should Be Investing In Live Entertainment. Not Compliance Software.

One Booking. One Invoice. One Simple Process.

When a venue confirms a show with The Gig Factory, the hard work is done for them.

Our Compliance & Payments Platform manages the administration behind the scenes, allowing venue operators to focus on delivering great entertainment rather than managing paperwork.

Venues receive the records and reporting they need to retain on file and can be confident they have a clear, professional and auditable process in place. Everything else is handled internally by The Gig Factory.

Confirm the show. Keep the records. Pay the invoice. We handle the rest.

More Than Super. Complete Entertainment Compliance Management.

We provide a complete compliance and administration framework designed specifically for the Australian live entertainment industry.

Every booking is supported by clear documentation, payment administration, compliance reporting and record keeping, helping venues reduce administrative burden while maintaining confidence in their entertainment compliance processes.

• Clear booking agreements
• Simple weekly invoicing
• Artist payment administration
• Performer compliance management
• ATO-compliant superannuation administration
• Compliance reporting
• Audit trails and record retention
• Venue-ready compliance documentation

No subscriptions. No monthly fees. No compliance charges. Free Forever.

Set And Forget.

The Gig Factory Compliance & Payments Platform has been specifically developed to support venues in meeting the new performer pay day superannuation requirements and associated compliance obligations while significantly reducing the administration involved. From performer records and superannuation information through to reporting, payment administration and compliance documentation, the heavy lifting is handled through our platform.

• No chasing artists.
• No endless email chains.
• No complicated software workflows.
• No additional venue workload.

For venues, this means less paperwork, less confusion and greater confidence. For artists, it means a cleaner, more transparent and more professional experience around bookings, payments, reporting and record keeping. Most importantly, it means venues can continue investing in live entertainment rather than diverting valuable time and money into yet another software subscription or administrative process.

Built For The Real World Of Live Entertainment

Unlike generic payroll systems or standalone compliance platforms, The Gig Factory’s solution has been built by people who work in live entertainment every day. We understand that venue managers don’t have time to chase artists for paperwork, log into multiple systems, reconcile reports or manage complex compliance workflows for every performance. We took a different approach. Our objective wasn’t to create more work for venues. Our objective was to remove it. The booking is confirmed. The documentation is generated. The reporting is maintained. The records are retained. The compliance process is supported. The venue gets on with running the venue.

Venues Should Be Spending Their Money On Artists, Audiences And Experiences — Not On Additional Compliance Costs.

The Gig Factory’s platform has been built on a simple belief: If compliance is becoming more complex, the solution should be better systems — not higher costs. What’s Included?

• Performer compliance support
• Superannuation compliance support
• Artist payment management
• Simple weekly venue invoicing
• Payment and remittance reporting
• Booking agreements and documentation
• Compliance records and audit trails
• Venue-ready compliance reporting

An Investment In Australian Live Entertainment

This initiative represents one of the most significant investments The Gig Factory has made in supporting Australian live entertainment. Because healthy venues create opportunities for artists. Artists create experiences for audiences. And great live entertainment strengthens communities. Our role is to make that easier, not more expensive. Live Entertainment Is Already Challenging Enough. The Systems That Support It Shouldn’t Be.

Built for venues.

Built for artists.

Built for the industry.

Free Forever.
