STELLA · Canberra
Casting-Ready Talent for the Capital
Canberra commissions more campaign work per resident than almost anywhere in Australia — government communications, university marketing, national institutions and a growing retail scene all need faces. STELLA represents the capital's talent for precisely that work.
The city's twin universities keep the talent pool young and articulate, while the public-sector workforce supplies the credible professionals institutional campaigns ask for. We scout both ends.
Boards Suited to Canberra Work
Government & Institutional
Departmental campaigns need diverse, believable, clearance-friendly casting. We supply talent comfortable with the approval layers and messaging discipline this work involves.
Education & Youth
ANU and the University of Canberra anchor a student population that education and lifestyle brands constantly want on camera. Our youth board is drawn from it.
Retail & Lifestyle
From Braddon's independents to the Canberra Centre, local retail shoots seasonal campaigns and social content. We cast the approachable, polished faces they ask for.

Authentically Canberran

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does STELLA cast for Australian Government campaigns in Canberra?
- We represent talent suitable for government and institutional campaigns and work with the creative and production agencies that deliver them. Departmental work is typically commissioned through those agencies rather than directly.
- Is there modelling work in Canberra beyond government jobs?
- Plenty — university and education marketing, national institutions and events, property developments, and Braddon-to-Kingston retail all shoot regularly. The mix is steadier than fashion-led cities, which suits reliable talent.
- How do Canberra students join STELLA?
- Apply online with natural phone photos and your availability around classes. Student schedules fit this market well because plenty of capital shoots run on weekdays with daylight hours.
