Australian Rock Company held its first public meeting on 18.10.1981.  At that time those in attendance decided to form a public company(as per Australian Opera, Ballet & Theatre Companies) to underwrite live performances by original Australian contemporary musicians, for young people, nationally. The NSW Attorney General was to be approached for legal assistance with the task.

The Company was incorporated on 2.2.1984, after extensive consultation with music project officers at NSW Office of the Arts and Australia Council, to ensure that it was suitably structured to meet all relevant funding requirements.

In the interim, the Company traded as an unincorporated association, running shows in various Town Halls and youth clubs, football and other fields as RIP Enterprises.

2 The cultural objects for which the Company is established (as posted on www.arc.au.com/aims) include:

i to realise life as art; (concise oxford def. 'skilful execution as an object in itself')

ii to encourage, promote and produce the artistic expressions of youth in all forms and media and to assist in the development of a strong, articulate and creative youth culture, in Australia;

iii to promote, produce, present and manage professional live performances for the culturally disadvantaged youth throughout Australia especially in isolated, under-catered and financially uncertain areas;

iv to promote Australian culture, particularly through live performance and to promote, produce, present and manage film and recorded performances and other forms of creative endeavour;

v to offer employment or otherwise promote the training of skills and employment of performers, directors, producers, writers, composers, visual artists, technicians and other persons in the arts, entertainment and communications industries;

vi to maintain, upgrade and advance present venues and to create new venues for live and recorded performance and other forms of creative endeavour;

vii to establish a National Ticketing Network, "ARCTIX";

viii to teach, train and instruct persons, promote education and research relating to any and all facets of the arts, entertainment and communications industries;

ix to compile community resource data and information relating to venues, facilities, live and recorded performance;

To attain a realistic capital base to underwrite the cultural objectives of the Company. If "ARC Rock & Roll Fund" should be wound up, any surplus assets should not be distributed among the members of the Company, but shall be given or transferred to some other fund or organisation with similar objects to the cultural objects of the Company, such fund or organisation to be eligible for tax deductibility of donations under subsection 78(4) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
