We are the Australian Government’s principal arts investment and advisory body. Our overarching purpose is to champion and invest in arts and creativity to benefit all Australians. We aim to do this by working towards the strategic objectives set out in our Corporate Plan.

Diversity and Inclusion are at the heart of how we work to build and maintain a culturally safe and supportive workplace. We are committed to ensuring our staff reflect the diversity of Australia’s people and the artists and organisations we support.

We were named as an Inclusive Employer 2021-2022. This achievement recognises that we are active and committed to inclusion, and that we are above the Australian workforce average in DCA’s Inclusion@Work Index.

The Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 requires Commonwealth public sector employers that employ 100 or more people to submit a report to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), annually, as a part of the Commonwealth Public Sector Gender Equality Reporting program.
