Accounts Payable

Umbrella Studio is a registered Not-for-Profit, and as such we have some special rules regarding payments.

For payments over $1,000, this needs to be approved by our Treasurer. Our Treasurer is a volunteer and we work with them to process payments once a week on a Tuesday. That means we need to have your invoice by 9am each Tuesday, or it has to wait until the following week. There may also be instances where the Treasurer is away. This means your payment could be delayed until they return. This is out of the hands of the operational staff.

CLOSE OFF DAY FOR INVOICES: 9am Tuesdays

To speed up your payments, make sure you have this information on your invoice:

  1. Your ABN
  2. Address
  3. Email for remittance advice (This is a quick email notification to say “Hey! We paid you!”)
  4. Bank details

Payments under $1,000 are also done once a week on a Tuesday. We are a very small team of staff – a higher frequency of payment dates would be unsustainable.

There is some more information for artists invoicing us here: www.umbrella.org.au/invoice

And information about invoicing from the tax office here: https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/GST/Issuing-tax-invoices/

Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts respectfully acknowledges the Wulgurukaba of Gurambilbarra and Yunbenun and the surrounding groups of our region - Bindal, Gugu Badhan, Nywaigi, Warrgamay, Bandjin and Gudjal - as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather, share and celebrate local creative practice. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people of Australia. They have never ceded sovereignty and remain strong in their enduring connection to land and Culture.

As a Dealer Member and signatory to the Code we must act fairly, honestly, professionally and in good conscience in all direct or indirect dealings with artists.
