AACTA is kicking off the celebrations in 2026 with the annual AACTA Awards Industry Gala! The Australian Academy is rolling out the red carpet to honour the exceptional artists whose creativity and talent bring stories to life. With over 30 AACTA Awards up for grabs, this is the event of the year you absolutely can’t miss.

But wait - the night doesn’t finish there! The fun keeps going at the Official After Party presented by Screen Queensland. Join us for drinks and canapés, mingle with friends and colleagues, and dance the night away. Or join us at the AACTA Karaoke Bar - back for the second year in a row and known as the place to be. It’s the perfect chance to continue the celebrations and make even more memories!

Discounted tickets are available for AACTA members by inputting your member number into the discount code section.
