Creative Australia invests in artists, creative workers and, arts and cultural organisations to foster effective governance that reflects the needs, aspirations and diversity of our communities. Through training, mentorships, networks and dialogue we support skills development, supportive networks and better practice governance.

Use our new Governance Hub to find resources, support and opportunities to help you and your organisation create and sustain effective, meaningful governance practices. Here you can find arts and cultural sector specific guides, templates, case studies and conversations, or explore more in Additional resources and Support. 

Guides

In consultation with the sector we have developed a series of guides to developing policies that support effective, efficient and inclusive governance practices. Click the headings to download each guide (PDF file).
