It’s easy, fast and obligation free!
At Bubblegum, we represent some of Australia’s brightest young stars, but even so, we’re always on the lookout for fresh new faces and talent, and your child may be the next star we find!
If your child is aged anywhere from 3 months to 17 years of age, and you think they might have what it takes to shine in front of a camera or on stage, then we want to hear from you.
Here is how we work: we’ll set up a quick informal chat where we’ll get a feel for your child’s suitability for working in the industry.
If we feel your child is a good fit, we’ll invite you to join
the Bubblegum family — it’s as simple as that.
The lucky kids that make it onto our books benefit from
in-house workshops and coaching sessions to help them brush up on their skills. They’ll also get great advice and professional tips from the Bubblegum team, some of whom have worked as child models and actors themselves! We’ll even arrange a portfolio shoot with our in-house photographer.
We want all the kids on our books to have their chance to shine and if that means working twice as hard to make it happen, then that’s what we’ll do!

We host regular open casting events at our offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. This gives us a chance to dedicate an entire day to get to know the kids that want to join the agency.
We’ve found that events like these work well as kids often feel more relaxed when surrounded by others their own age. It also helps that we create a bit of a party atmosphere with music, balloons, and anything else we can think of to make it a fun day!

Over 18 and an Aspiring Actor? Model? Or Both?
We’re the longest running children’s talent agency in Australia with a reputation for matching the right kids with the right clients.
We also pride ourselves on being industry leaders with an innovative approach to preparing our talent for a long career in front of the camera.
Please submit your child’s details and a clear photograph through our Apply Now link.
Once we have received your application, we’ll let you know when our next open casting event will take place in your city. Bear in mind that we only accept applications from children who are not signed up with another agency.
This is the million dollar question. We can offer no guarantees in regard to how often your child will work. We do not know what work will come up from one day to the next, what our clients will want to advertise or what age groups or size that they will require.
However, we do choose our children carefully and our hit rate is very high. A large percentage of our children do obtain work and we like to think that’s down to our great coaching!
No Agency can offer guarantees. What we can promise is that we will promote your child to the best of our ability and we will put your child forward for all jobs that he/she is suitable for. Ultimately our clients have the final say on who gets the job.
At Bubblegum, we only take on children who we strongly believe will get work. So if your child is lucky enough to join the agency, we’re confident that they’ll get an opportunity to shine in front of the cameras.
