Introducing...FMA
Ready to make your mark in modelling or content creation? Good - because that’s exactly what we’re here for.
Here at FMA, or Freelance Models Aus, we are not a talent agency. We’re a supportive, Australia-wide community built for models and creators who want to take control of their careers. Whether you’re brand new, levelling up your skills, or chasing fresh opportunities, FMA has your back every step of the way.
The industry can feel overwhelming - where to start, how to start, what to charge, how to get noticed without giving away your creative freedom? That’s where we come in. We cut through the noise with real guidance, real opportunities, and real connections - never taking a cut of what you earn.
Second to this, our digital home serves as an online portfolio for freelance models and creators to showcase their work amongst their peers.
Our team of mentors are all working models and creators so you know when you work with us, you receive advice from active members of our community.
Hi! I'm Kate.
Thank you for finding my little corner of the internet and being curious about what we do here.
For the last ten years, I've been running around sets and studios as a curve model, creative, and fierce believer in authenticity. After years working in the industry - and some pretty terrible agency experiences - I realised there wasn’t enough space for diverse talent to get real support outside of traditional agencies.
That’s why I started FMA. I wanted to build a community where models and creators, whether new or experienced, can learn, grow, and connect on their own terms and together. A creative family.
For me, FMA isn’t just a community - it is a movement to empower people to show up boldly, hone their craft, and carve out their place in an industry that’s ready for change.
