The Creative Australia Amendment (Implementation of Revive) Bill 2024 passes through Parliament 

The Parliament of Australia has passed the Creative Australia Amendment (Implementation of Revive) Bill 2024 today. This is the final piece of legislation in establishing all the functions of Creative Australia under the National Cultural Policy, Revive. Subject to the Bill receiving Royal Assent and confirmation of the commencement date, the Amendments allow us to establish the First Nations Board and First Nations division of Creative Australia (this year) and Writing Australia (next year). 

The First Nations Board will be appointed by Minister for the Arts, The Hon Tony Burke MP. Once the appointments are announced we will convene the first meeting of the First Nations Board, it is anticipated that at least one meeting will be held before the end of the year. 

Appointments to the Writing Australia Council will also be made by Minister for the Arts, The Hon Tony Burke MP. Writing Australia will commence from 1 July 2025. 

If you would like to express your interest in joining either the First Nations Board or the Writing Australia Council, please complete the form on the Office for the Arts website here. If you have any questions relating to the form, please contact  appointments@arts.gov.au.

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.
