- Provide greater economic opportunity for artists and long-term career sustainability by providing a viable outlet, and distributing royalties/profits through equitable and culturally appropriate mechanisms
- Address various social issues with creative, culturally focused approaches
- Increase Australians’ understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultures of their region
- Cultivate ‘capacity building’ for music recording within the region
- Increase the cultural exchange between Australia and countries within the region
