Description

This exemption was granted to permit Cooper Screen Academy to advertise for and enrol women only in the screen acting course called 'TV MUMS' on the basis that:

• Participants of the course do not have to be a Mum themselves, but instead could play a Mum on screen; and
• The course will encourage and support women to participate and explore screen acting in an environment they may feel more comfortable in; and
• The course aims to address the under-representation of women on screen by motivating and empowering participants to explore a career in acting.
