Designation
“This program can save lives if it can be scaled up. We have been the victims and identified the gaps in our broken mental health system, and this program offers proactive alternatives to vulnerable youth. I wholeheartedly support the Next Level Program, what it has done for us and our family, and what it could do for many more. I can only begin to think of the positive impacts it can have concerning substance abuse and youth crime if these kids feel empowered and have a team who believes in them”
Carly Clark, Splitters Farm owner
Oscar's Mum
"The team at Next Level are professional, experienced and passionate about developing our region's talent and I wholeheartedly support their future plans"

"These events are valuable to our local emerging artists and bring great benefits to our community. There are so many talented musicians who just need that extra support to help realise their dreams. The support shown to the participating youth achieved through the current workshops, of which I regularly attend as Councillor Spokesperson for the Arts and Heritage, not only guides them on their musical journey but provides mental support to the participants by their mentors."
John Learmonth, Councillor
Bundaberg Regional Council
“The Next Level Music Programs offer a unique opportunity for young people in the Bundaberg region to gain experience, confidence, and skills as artists, all while focusing on mental health through community and connection.”
Mayor Helen Blackburn
