Nov 14, 2024

Creative Australia has welcomed the release of Equity: the Arts and Disability Associated Plan, a significant commitment by the Australian Government to support equity for Australian artists, arts workers and audiences with disability.  

An initiative under Revive, the Australian Government’s National Cultural Policy – the plan is being delivered in partnership between the Government’s Office for the Arts and Creative Australia, in consultation with Screen Australia.  

CEO Adrian Collette AM said:  

“We welcome this significant commitment, which includes support for First Nations initiatives, to be guided by our First Nations Board. We’ll also continue to extend and expand the reach of our current programs including the National Arts and Disability Awards and Arts and Disability Fellowship. 

“Creative Australia is dedicated to ensuring our arts truly reflect us. I’d like to thank everyone in the arts and disability sector who contributed to the development of this plan. Accessibility and inclusion in the arts benefits all of us, and we look forward working with the Government’s Office for the Arts to deliver this plan for a more inclusive future.” 

The release of Equity: the Arts and Disability Associated Plan was jointly announced by Minister for the Arts Tony Burke, Minister for Social Services Amanda Rishworth and Special Envoy for the Arts Susan Templeman following an address from the Special Envoy at the 2024 Creative Australia Awards in Bankstown on Thursday night (14 November).
