Australian art resource context

What you will find inside Creative Australia’s resources section

Accessibility resources

Useful for artists and organisations planning inclusive applications, events, meetings and public programs. This is especially relevant if your project involves d/Deaf or disabled artists, audiences who need accessible formats, Auslan, audio description, Easy English, large print or other access support.

Accessibility resources

Logo downloads and acknowledgement

Useful for grant recipients and organisations that need to acknowledge Creative Australia support correctly. Check this before designing flyers, catalogues, websites, exhibition labels or project credits.

Logo downloads

First Nations cultural and intellectual property protocols

Important for anyone working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories, cultural material, artists, communities or knowledge. This is not just a compliance document; it is a starting point for respectful process, permission, attribution and cultural authority.

First Nations protocols

Governance Hub

Useful for arts organisations, galleries, boards, collectives and festivals that need better governance, board processes, planning and inclusive decision-making. Emerging organisations can use this before creating policies or board papers.

Governance Hub

Think Digital

A practical self-assessment tool for arts and cultural organisations thinking about digital capability. Useful for galleries, festivals, small organisations and artist-led groups planning websites, digital programs, online audiences or digital strategy.

Think Digital

Digital case studies

Useful for seeing how cultural practitioners use digital platforms, audience engagement, online delivery and technology-led approaches. Good inspiration for grant applications, digital strategy and program planning.

Digital case studies

Payment of artists

Useful when budgeting artist fees, commissions, talks, workshops, consultancy, copyright, royalties and creative labour. Artists can use it to frame fee conversations; organisations can use it to budget more responsibly.

Payment of artists

Other sources of funding

Useful when Creative Australia is not the only pathway, or when you need to combine national, state, philanthropic, local government, crowdfunding or project-specific support.

Artsoz practical checklist

Before applying for funding

Check accessibility requirements, support material, language access options, eligible costs, artist fees and whether your project needs cultural protocol advice.

Before running an event

Review accessible venue information, Auslan or audio description needs, Easy English options, captioning, audience communication and staff responsibilities.

Before using First Nations cultural material

Do not rely on assumptions. Check protocol guidance, cultural authority, permission, consultation, attribution and benefit-sharing expectations.

Before building a digital project

Use Think Digital or the digital case studies to consider audience, platform, documentation, rights, access, budget and long-term maintenance.
