• collectively negotiate model terms of engagement with the Australian Writers’ Guild (AWG), Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) and the Australian Directors’ Guild (ADG)
• give effect to existing contracts or arrangements containing model terms of engagement already negotiated with the AWG, MEAA and ADG
• create new contracts or arrangements with current or future members of the AWG, MEAA and ADG that contain existing model terms of engagement and to give effect to those new contracts or arrangements, and
• create new contracts or arrangements with current or future members of the AWG, MEAA and ADG that contain new model terms of engagement and to give effect to those new contracts or arrangements
