Guildhouse and the National Cultural Policy for Australia

The Australian Government is developing a new National Cultural Policy for Australia.

The new cultural policy will be shaped by Australia’s arts, entertainment and cultural sectors – that’s us!

Guildhouse will be making a submission on behalf of our membership. To help us with our submission we would love to hear from you.

The new policy will be shaped around the 5 goals of Creative Australia which have been distilled into the following pillars:

First Nations: recognising and respecting the crucial place of these stories at the centre of our arts and culture.
A place for every story: reflecting the diversity of our stories and the contribution of all Australians as the creators of culture.
The centrality of the artist: supporting the artist as worker and celebrating their role as the creators of culture.
Strong institutions: providing support across the spectrum of institutions which sustain our arts and culture.
Reaching the audience: ensuring our stories reach the right people at home and abroad.
