Workplace
Giving

Our employees are passionate about Australian arts and creativity. It’s part of our culture.

We are pleased to celebrate the collaboration between Creative Australia, its staff and Australian artists in our 2024 Workplace Giving initiative.

We are proud of the growing number of employees who have decided to participate in this program, by making regular gifts directly from their pre-tax salaries in support of a thriving Australian arts sector.

Creative Australia matches employee contributions, raising up to $20,000 per annum to provide important investment in the early careers of Australian artists.

In 2024, Creative Australia and its employees supported the creation of a second National Arts and Disability Early Career Artist Award. These awards were presented to the recipients, Patrick Carter and Riana Head-Toussaint, as part of the Creative Australia Awards in November 2024.

This generous group of employees join a national community who deeply appreciate the transformational role of both artists and of philanthropy to affect positive social change. We are grateful for the collective support in this philanthropic endeavour, driven by our Workplace Giving participants’ desire for impact.

We thank all employees who generously contribute to Workplace Giving at Creative Australia in support of a thriving arts and cultural sector.
