Our Policies

At The Pack, policies are more than documents—they’re the foundation of everything we do. They keep us accountable to our cooperative principles, ensure fairness and transparency for artists and listeners, and protect the cultural and creative rights that make local music so vibrant. From our Code of Ethics and Data Sovereignty Policy to our commitments on cultural preservation, ethical AI, and responsible investment, these guiding frameworks help us build a platform you can trust. Explore our policies linked below to see how we put artists first at every step.

  • "I appreciate what you are trying to do and think it is a fantastic idea. I am a new artist and Spotify has given me a good deal of credibility in my field, but after two singles and 50,000 streams, I'm only about $150 richer for it."

    Aidan Zuccone - Mr Charlie Wilde

  • "This a service that could revolutionise the streaming industry. It is a viable business model that is being built for the general public and for musicians. It demonstrates consideration and respect for music content creators and offers a win/win platform to artists and consumers alike. I fully endorse The Pack and encourage you to support this pioneering endeavour created right here in WA."

    Aminah Hughes - Singer, Songwriter,

  • "Mel and Harry are both highly respected personalities in the local and national music industry. They are tirelessly devoted to supporting original music and stem from years of experience in the discipline. My own experience in working with them has been enriching and rewarding, and I firmly believe whatever task they set their minds to will enjoy great success. The Pack Australia is a clear winner with Mel and Harry at the helm!"

    Yugon Chobanoff - The Vibrolators

  • "The business model and product is grounded in deep research, consultation, and co-design with relevant stakeholders. The founders are intelligent, hard-working, professional, creative, and passionate people with many years of experience in music and the arts, as well as managing projects and teams. I am extremely excited to see this project come to fruition and enter the market, making a huge positive impact on music and musicians

    Claire Stokes - Board Director Arts Initiative Australia

  • "Anything I can do to assist the artistic community prosper is a good thing."

    Craig Skelton - The Skelton Collective

  • "Any initiative to break Spotify's stranglehold on content is good for everybody."

    David de la Hunty

  • "As the leader of a local unsigned Perth act, I've been finding it very hard to make a name for my band on the local stage, even aside from the financial considerations - the premise of this project is very exciting to me not only as a way to make streaming a viable source of revenue for the band going forward, but also as a method of exposure for growing our brand and being able to play more and better shows."

    Ethan Walters - Band Leader

  • "Yes. Let's try something new!"

    Gareth O'Neill - Singer/Songwriter

  • "I believe in The Pack and their philosophy behind supporting local artists, of which I am one. Opportunities to be heard more by anyone are hard to come by outside of the over-populated mass distribution models. But I thoroughly believe that this kind of testing will lead to a positive change in this modern predicament for local music."

    Gregory Brenton - Singer, Songwriter

  • "As a musician, I am delighted by the possibilities that The Pack Australia could deliver for the sustainability of local original music, and cultural ecosystem."

    Jayne Bryant - Singer, Songwriter

  • "Empowering local artists is the key to a thriving musical industry and nothing is more encouraging than peer to peer support."

    Mike Beale - Guitarist, Songwriter

  • "The idea of connecting local businesses to the local arts scene makes complete and utter sense. Not only does it make sense socially and culturally, but very few musicians make enough to get by. I think the idea is ingenious in tastefully monetising music in a non-exploitative, mutually beneficial way."

    Mitchell Withers - Antelope/Pixifoto

  • "I believe it is a very worthy and important project that will support the future of independent original musicians."

    Natalie Ripepi - Singer, Songwriter

  • "Mel and Harry are wonderful human beings, which in my view is as important as the broad skills they bring to this venture. Having been in the public eye for some time, they have experience, respect from the industry and deep passion for creating a better environment for musicians and ultimately for listeners. Support these people and this initiative - the world will be a better place. Which we need right now."

    Paul Gioia - Musician (Vale)

  • "Anything that supports and encourages a better and more fair industry that brings fair rewards to musicians is well worth supporting."

    Peter Carman - Loopium

  • "It is a fantastic idea. It can feel overwhelming as an independent artist trying to navigate streaming services and the exposure vs no payment reality. Is another reality actually possible?"

    Rose Parker - Singer, Songwriter

  • "The Pack is a clever and smooth response to the huge disruption to the local music scene caused by the new music monopolies. We need this kind of project if a diverse Australian music scene is to survive and flourish."

    Tim Hollo - FourPlay

  • "WA is overdue for experimentation with a local music focused streaming model. The audience is there and is currently poorly served in this area."

    Tomas Ford - Singer, Songwriter, Performer
