Funding for the Arts

Will the Prime Minister’s targeted $250 million package of funding to support cultural and creative projects and initiatives save the industry?

The arts funding is aimed at kick-starting the sector with funding preferencing commercial initiatives that generate jobs and are expected to have a positive economic impact. That is, this is an economic package as opposed to creative or cultural funding.

Outside of the funding package, SupportAct received $10m in funding for COVID-19 crisis relief grants. Crisis funding is accessible to:

To be eligible, you will need to be a musician, crew or music worker, who:

  • Is an Australian citizen, permanent resident or have a valid working visa
  • Can prove they been working in the music industry for three years
  • Can provide names and details of two professional referees
  • Have household expenses greater than household income.

Other financial support is available through JobKeeper (including the self-employed) or JobSeeker.
