The ASPAH Vision Statement

The Australian Society for Performing Arts Healthcare will be regarded nationally and internationally as the peak body in Australia for the promotion of holistic life span healthcare for performing artists.

The ASPAH Mission Statement

This organisation recognises that all performers, young and old, amateur and professional, have unique needs that may not be met by standard models of health care. Therefore it promotes:

• Accessible high quality holistic health care for all performing artists

• Education for health workers, teachers, performers and students to improve health and well-being

• Research across disciplines relevant to this field

• A culture of lifelong preventative health care and safety practices

• Multidisciplinary discourse among health professionals, educators and performing artists

• Increased community awareness of performing arts health care

ASPAH is for anyone interested in finding answers in the fields of performing arts health, performing arts medicine, music medicine, dance medicine, dance injuries, performance anxiety, performance stress, stage fright, RSI in musicians and anything else to do with illness and injury in the performing arts.
