Support Act Announces Appointments Of Catherine Satour & Rachel Campbell

Support Act has announced the hiring of two powerhouse women, Rachel Campbell and Catherine Satour, both of whom are taking on important roles that will enhance the Australian music industry charity.

Campbell has been named the Campaign Director for AusMusic T-Shirt Day, while Satour is the new First Nations Programs Manager.

Campbell has over 15 years of experience in commercial media, with significant work at the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence and as the Head of Partnerships at the City of Sydney for QMS. She will take the reins for the next phase of this year’s AusMusic T-Shirt Day. Satour, meanwhile, is a proud Pertame, Arrernte, and Mirning woman from Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and a respected force within the Australian music industry.

Satour has over two decades of experience using music as art and a tool for cultural connection, self-determination, and community change. At Support Act, she’ll guide initiatives that boost social and emotional care, culture, and community.

Today’s announcement follows Support Act’s expansion of the essential Wellbeing Helpline, which now includes all creative industry workers.

Campbell expressed excitement about her new role and about securing partnerships and relationships while highlighting Australia’s “diverse music ecosystem.”

In a statement, she said: “Support Act is such a vital lifeline for our industry. So much of what I do is about building relationships — with brands, with supporters, with people who genuinely care about the wellbeing of our music community.

“I’m excited to work with partners and audiences who appreciate the important role Australia’s diverse music ecosystem plays in enriching our lives. We are at the very heart of this industry, and I feel honoured to be part of something that makes a lasting difference for the artists and workers who sustain it.”

Satour highlighted Support Act’s significant moves in supporting more than 500 First Nations music and creative industries workers and added that she plans to empower even more people in the industry.

“Community has always been at the heart of my work, whether I’m on stage, mentoring young artists, or designing programs that allow mob to feel safe, to have visibility and be supported in this industry,” Satour said. “In the past five years, Support Act has helped more than 500 First Nations music and creative industries workers through crisis relief, mental health support and wellbeing programs, but there’s still so much more to do.

“I want to help create spaces where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and crew are empowered within the industry.”
