The Victorian Music Council was established in June 2011 to advise Music Victoria on any issues affecting artists and the wider music community.

It is comprised of around 70 leaders of the Victorian music industry who have been chosen for their skills and experience as artists, or their senior roles in peak bodies and music companies across different genres.

The Council ranges from musicians such as Deborah Conway, Paul Grabowsky, Dan Sultan and Mick Harvey, to regional festival promoters, venue owners, community radio station managers and music lawyers.

The council meets about four times a year for networking nights and reports on key issues. Sub-committees work more regularly on particular specialised areas.
