About Indent

Indent works directly with young people to empower them and help raise awareness of their needs, connecting them with support organisations in their community, providing opportunities, training and valuable experience and involving them in a range of tasks such as booking venues, liaising with police, managing security, organising public liability insurance, advertising and promotion. The name Indent comes from the words INDependent ENTertainment.

Backgound

Indent dates back to the 1996 Drug Summit where one of the many outcomes was the development of a Youth Entertainment Pilot (YEP) project to promote developments in government policy relating to the staging of under 18’s and all ages events and drug and alcohol free entertainment. MusicNSW held a forum at the Powerhouse Museum on November 27, 1999 which brought together 120 young people from around NSW who were actively involved in youth events. The discussion at the forum led ultimately to the formations of the first Indent Strategy. The strategy was well received and Indent was officially engaged with an initial financial commitment of $750,000 over three years ($250,000 a year).
