Creative Workplaces

Share page

Creative Workplaces was established for artists, art workers and arts organisations to promote and enable fair, safe and respectful workplaces in the arts and culture sector. Creative Workplaces recognises artists as both creatives  and workers. 

The sector is diverse and applying workplace laws to creative workplaces can be difficult. Our goal is to make it easier for everyone in the sector. 

Our work will support the sector to understand their rights and meet their workplace obligations by providing information, resources and referral information about pay, safety and wellbeing. 

To learn more: 

Creative Workplaces online platform 

We are developing an online platform which will be freely available to everyone in the sector. The platform will be a central hub of information and resources relating to pay, safety and wellbeing for the arts and culture sector.

The Creative Workplaces online platform will launch in the first half of 2025.

Fair, Safe & Respectful Framework 

We are developing a practical framework to support workers and organisations of all shapes and sizes to achieve fair, safe and respectful workplaces.

Covering core areas such as harassment, discrimination and bullying, child safeguarding, safety and fair pay, the framework will assist the sector to consistently ensure workplace obligations are met.

In the meantime, we have information about accessing help and support.

Getting it right  

We are an initiative for creatives.

It is vital for us to connect and collaborate with creative communities to make sure our work fits the unique needs and challenges of creative industries.

We acknowledge the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and honour their Elders past and present.

We respect their deep enduring connection to their lands, waterways and surrounding clan groups since time immemorial. We cherish the richness of First Nations Peoples’ artistic and cultural expressions.

We are privileged to gather on this Country and through this website to share knowledge, culture and art now, and with future generations.

First Nations Peoples should be aware that this website may contain images or names of people who have died.
