Canberra Arts Freelancers is useful to both arts jobseekers and employers looking for talent.
Arts jobseekers in Canberra can create an account and upload your CV as a PDF. Notifications can be set up so you can receive an email when jobs become listed in the category(ies) of your choice. Then you can bid on the job for the amount you wish to be paid for that particular job. This could be a one off payment which is usually for a fixed number of maximum hours that you estimate you can do it in, or a per hour rate. Please make sure you put any income you make onto your tax return, either using a business ABN sole trader, or as other income.
