intro
Residents Desk is a new, all-in-one creative workspace, community, and resource hub for Australia’s music and creative industries. Built for collaboration, connection, and creative innovation, it operates as a cooperative and emerging B Corp model—designed as an anti-enshittification platform that resists the extractive, ad-driven logic of mainstream tech. Instead of capturing attention and value, it returns them to the people who create and contribute.
It’s a community-first hub where projects, people, and tools come together without algorithms, follower counts, or noisy feeds. Designed by and for working creatives, it offers a grounded space for real work in a digital world shaped by distraction and extraction. From recording an album to producing a film, curating an event, or launching a brand, Residents Desk helps you find collaborators, build teams, and move projects forward.

context
Australia’s creative industries have been through a lot—hit hard by the pandemic, weighed down by underfunded systems, and left to patch projects together across scattered tools and platforms. The result is lost momentum, stalled projects, and too many creatives working in isolation.
Residents Desk was built to change this. It cuts through the noise, reduces tool overload, and creates a single, cooperative space for creatives to connect, collaborate, and keep their work moving. Project boards, shared calendars, directories, funding resources, and profiles live side by side—reflecting how creative practice actually works: messy, collaborative, and always evolving.
At its heart, Residents Desk exists to make meaningful work possible with the right people—bridging music, film, events, and creative business into one connected ecosystem built to spark innovation and sustain creative livelihoods.

a cooperative platform
Residents Desk is a cooperative platform built by and for Australia’s creative community—free from algorithms, feeds, and extractive business models. It brings people, projects, and tools together in one connected space, offering everything from project planning and funding resources to profiles, directories, and collaborative infrastructure designed for real creative work.
For individuals, it means less admin and more time creating. For organisations, it’s a gateway to talent, collaboration, and shared opportunities. For communities, it’s a collective resource that strengthens culture, trust, and continuity across the creative industries.
The first 1,000–2,000 Founding Members will become co-owners through a once-off contribution or membership fee—each with one vote, annual rewards, and a lasting role in shaping the platform’s future. (More info soon.)
Residents Desk grows with its members, protecting ownership, trust, and creative continuity—ensuring Australia’s creative industries have a sustainable, connected, and fair foundation for generations to come.

the mission
Creative work today moves fast, and technology continues to reshape how ideas are made, shared, and sustained. Yet across Australia, there’s still no central space for music and creative communities to organise. Opportunities and information remain scattered across websites, social platforms, and spreadsheets—fragmenting collaboration and slowing progress.
Residents Desk is designed to change that—connecting people, platforms, and practical tools in one Australia-first hub. The aim is clear: to make the music and creative industries more accessible, transparent, and fair. We draw on models like Major Contacts in the US and The Unsigned Guide in the UK, but build a local, cooperative version that reflects the realities of Australia’s creative landscape—community-led, accountable, and designed for long-term creative continuity.

the vision
To create a connected, cooperative infrastructure for Australia’s creative industries—where artists, producers, venues, and organisations can work together sustainably. Residents Desk envisions a future where creative work is valued as shared cultural labour, not individual competition; where technology strengthens rather than extracts; and where ownership, opportunity, and creative momentum remain in the hands of the community.

ethos
Residents Desk began as a response to the growing fragmentation of creative work. Many artists and professionals now juggle scattered tools, fleeting platforms, and unstable pathways to sustain their practice. Residents Desk brings these elements together — creating space for shared ownership, ethical technology, and lasting creative connection.
We believe creativity should contribute to community as much as it sustains individuals. Through a cooperative approach, members help guide the tools, governance, and culture of the platform. By fostering trust, transparency, and collective care, Residents Desk works toward a creative ecosystem that grows with the people who use it.

Integrations & Platform Access
Residents Desk is designed to be as self-contained and interconnected as possible. Our platform currently supports a growing suite of integrations, embeds, and API connections, allowing members to link their creative tools, manage projects, and showcase work seamlessly in one place.
We’re continually expanding this ecosystem—exploring new APIs, automation features, and webhook connections to make Residents Desk function as a true “in-the-box” workspace for Australia’s creative industries.
At present, Residents Desk operates as a web-based application, fully accessible via desktop or mobile browsers. A dedicated desktop application is currently in development to extend functionality and enhance the creative workflow experience.

Use Cases / Capabilities
Music Release & Collaboration Planning
Turn your next release or label project into a shared planning space. Invite collaborators, producers, and designers to contribute, manage assets like stems and artwork, and schedule your rollout. Linked tasks and timelines keep creative, marketing, and distribution efforts on track and transparent.
Festival Command Centre
Plan and coordinate your festival from one organised workspace. Manage schedules, creative teams, production timelines, and site logistics in real time. Collaborators can co-edit run sheets, upload assets, and track updates across music, production, hospitality, and media teams — making it easy to stay aligned from concept to pack-down.
Booking & Programming Pipeline
Plan programming cycles with clarity. Receive artist submissions, track shortlists, manage offers, and coordinate logistics in a single view. Every booking stays connected to the relevant production notes, promotional materials, and event details, helping teams work efficiently from outreach to showtime.
Grants, Residencies & Commissions
Collaboratively prepare and deliver applications. Use adaptable templates for budgets, timelines, and support materials, then carry projects through delivery with shared reporting and milestone tracking. Ideal for independent creators or collectives managing multiple opportunities together.
Project Organisation
Centralise music, film, events, and visual arts projects in one integrated workspace instead of scattering them across spreadsheets, drives, and social feeds. Residents Desk provides an organised, accessible environment for managing creative work end to end, keeping assets, schedules, and collaborators aligned.
Creative Collaboration & Opportunity Hub
Connect with other artists, producers, and studios to start new projects. Post collaboration ideas, build proposals together, and find partners based on shared goals and complementary skills. The hub makes creative work more discoverable, open, and easy to start.
Learning, Tools & Knowledge Exchange
Support your creative process with practical resources. Access planning templates, toolkits, and peer-led learning spaces covering music, events, film, and design. Workshops and shared sessions turn professional development into a natural extension of project work.
Events, Infrastructure & Growth Hub
Organise and grow your event or venue operations through shared dashboards. Plan budgets, timelines, and partnerships while tracking outcomes like attendance, engagement, and reach. Built to support long-term creative and community growth through connected, transparent planning.
Design & Visual Production Planning
Bring structure to your visual projects. From festival branding and social media assets to stage design, teams can manage briefs, creative drafts, and approvals in one place. This shared workflow keeps creative direction clear, timelines realistic, and design execution consistent.
Film, Script & Production Collaboration
Develop and deliver film or video projects collaboratively from draft to final cut. Writers, directors, and producers can share storyboards, scripts, and shot lists, assign tasks, and version materials together — ensuring every stage of production stays connected and actionable.
