International star of stage and screen HUGH JACKMAN has become Patron of Actors Centre Australia

The announcement was made by ACA’s proud Founder and Artistic Director, Dean Carey, when Jackman — one of the inner Sydney theatre school’s most famous alumni — paid a visit. Speaking to current Journey students, he said;

“ACA lit my passion for the craft and the fundamentals I learnt here are a huge part of the foundations I take to work with me every day. Returning to ACA, I was thrilled to see that the spirit, vitality, warmth and joy of the place is very much alive.”

The Power of Performance is launching...

The next evolution is here! After 10 years of success, the Power of Acting has been used as a stepping-stone to create Australia’s premier part-time acting program. The Power of Performance is a unique, module-based training program to give students the professional training they want, combined with the flexibility they need.
