The casting industry has undergone significant transformations over the years, with digital technology playing a pivotal role in reshaping the landscape. For young adult and adult talents navigating the world of modelling and acting, understanding these changes is crucial.
Since we first opened our doors, we’ve been highly selective about who we choose to represent and who we work with. This focus on talent and quality has helped us to build a reputation as the agency to work with for both clients and talents.
As a result, our talents have worked with global brands, the most famous local brands, and major production companies shooting both TV and feature length productions.

If you have talent, the will to succeed, and a solid work ethic, then you could be a good fit for Hunter Talent.
However, If you think this industry is good for a quick buck, then sorry but we probably won’t be able to work together.
Call us old-fashioned, but we like to meet before we sign anyone to our books.
You can fill out our online application form and we’ll be in touch if we think you might be a good fit for the agency.
Hunter Talent has helped many of Australia’s leading brands and production companies find the right talent for their projects.
You can check out our list of clients right here. You should recognize a name or two 🙂
That’s the million dollar question right there.
The truth is that we have no idea, as it all depends on your suitability to a role and a client’s requirements.
One thing we are sure of is that we’ll promote the hell out of you.
If a suitable brief comes in, we’ll make damn sure the right people see your portfolio.
The rest is up to you.
We’re a boutique agency and that means that we place quality over quantity in everything we do.
We have about 300 super-talented folk on our books, and we can vouch for the professionalism of each and every one. We can probably even tell you how they all like their coffee too.
That’s a definite no.
Seriously, when two agencies put you forward for the same role, it looks super unprofessional for both you and the agencies involved. Don’t do this thinking you’ll get more work because it could hurt your career.
This depends on the job in question, but our commission ranges from 10 – 20%.
No, we do not charge fees to join the agency. However, we do require you to pay for portal subscriptions that are critical casting tools for the entertainment industry.
We also require you to have high-quality, professional headshots. If you don’t already have headshots, we can organise a shoot with one of our amazing in-house photographers for a reasonable fee.
Yes, we have a commission agreement that you sign when you join the agency. This is a legally binding document and it’s there to protect everyone involved (that means you too).
The commission agreement is usually for a period of twelve months as this gives us plenty of time to put your forward for suitable opportunities.
The commission agreement can be terminated at any time by mutual consent because after all, sometimes things just don’t work out.
Oh, yeah! Nothing like paying less tax, right?
Any payment made for casting portals and headshots are tax deductible if you make enough money to cross the tax threshold.
We’re going to stop right there though. We’re not tax consultants and we think you really should speak to someone who knows more about tax laws and finances.
Hunter Talent is an Australian-based acting and modeling agency with a presence in multiple locations across the country. We have an office in Melbourne and representation in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, and Adelaide. We’re always on the hunt for fresh talent.
