Creative Australia We are the Australian Government’s principal arts investment, development and advisory body. We are a champion for Australian arts both here and overseas.

Creative Australia's strategic plan reflects our desire to make more visible the vitality of our arts and culture, and to recognise the evolving way that Australians make and experience art. Our role is to support the unimagined along with the reimagined, the unknown and experimental along with the keenly anticipated. We invest in artistic excellence through support for all facets of the creative process and are committed to the arts being more accessible to all Australians.
