Creative Australia is committed to increasing the diversity of leadership in our sector. We strongly encourage applications from First Nations peoples, people with disability and people who are d/Deaf, culturally and linguistically diverse people, LGBTQIA+ people, young people and older people, and those based in regional and remote Australia. We also acknowledge that identity is intersectional and encourage people at intersections of these identities to apply.

All expressions of interest (EOI) must outline:

• Your organisation’s primary purpose
• How attending the conference would support your fundraising goals
• What are your top three reasons for wanting to attend
• How do you imagine implementing your attendance into your future work
• Your history of fundraising training.

Assessment of EOIs will be conducted by Creative Australia’s Development & Partnerships Division.
