All ticket proceeds from Triple J's One Night Stand will be donated to Support Act, The Push, Undalup Association and Karri Karrak Aboriginal Corporation.
As stated by Creative Industries Minister Simone McGurk:
"Triple J's One Night Stand event is a popular event that is held nationwide in different locations throughout Australia.
"The partnership between The Push and Triple J has created a fantastic opportunity for the eight young people selected as the All-Ages Events Team.
"Learning from The Push and Triple J teams, they will be given the opportunity to support the delivery of the event on the day, which is practical experience that will help them recognise music as a viable career pathway.
"Providing crucial firsthand work experience will support those involved to build sustainable careers across the contemporary music sector.
"Enabling young people to experience live music through a well-managed event like this is important, especially for those interested careers in the music industry."
