National Arts and Disability Strategy Working Group
The National Arts and Disability Strategy Working Group is chaired by the Australian Government (Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts) and includes all jurisdictions.
The group is gathering information on activities across jurisdictions which aim to increase access and participation in the arts for people with a disability. It is identifying shared priorities and opportunities for cross-jurisdictional collaboration on arts and disability issues.
The group will develop a principles-based National Arts and Disability Strategy to improve coordination and collaboration across governments to ensure that all Australians with a disability are given the opportunity to engage fully in the arts and cultural activity.
Public consultations on the Strategy are under way:
- National Arts and Disability Strategy Discussion Paper
Submissions close Monday 3 November 2008
