Transforming creativity through investment in leadership

Creative Australia sees leadership as a practice. Through our programs we encourage participants to engage broadly with diverse understandings of what leadership is and how it is demonstrated.

We believe developing leadership happens through cultivating the skills, knowledge, mindsets, relationships and networks that participants need to be able to practice leadership.

Our programs recognise the diverse nature of leadership and build on the rich knowledge and experience across Australia and internationally, from small to large organisations, emerging to established and independent practice.

Creative Australia is committed to increasing the diversity of leaders in our industry and actively supports and works with people who identify as First Nations, culturally and linguistically diverse, d/Deaf and disabled artists and arts workers and those living in regional and remote areas.

We actively work with individuals to support access needs – including childcare, cultural practices, financial and/or learning access needs as required.

We acknowledge the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and honour their Elders past and present.

We respect their deep enduring connection to their lands, waterways and surrounding clan groups since time immemorial. We cherish the richness of First Nations Peoples’ artistic and cultural expressions.

We are privileged to gather on this Country and through this website to share knowledge, culture and art now, and with future generations.

First Nations Peoples should be aware that this website may contain images or names of people who have died.
