The National Advocates for Arts Education (NAAE) has a campaign and petition calling on the federal governments to address the decline in arts education at all levels, see below and read more on their website: https://naae.org.au/news/call-to-action

Based on recent research, the NAAE calls for urgent federal action. You can help alert your local member to this new evidence about the serious decline in arts education at all levels. In the meantime, NAAE has written to relevant Federal Ministers.
Through its leadership in initiating research and sustained national advocacy, NAAE has worked for many years to document, highlight and respond to the ongoing decline in arts education provision. Most recently, NAAE has tracked and published national data identifying tertiary creative arts and arts education courses that have been discontinued or reduced.
NAAE has long advocated for equitable access to arts learning, including its successful national campaign in 2008 to ensure The Arts were included in the Australian Curriculum, establishing an entitlement to arts education for all young Australians. This entitlement is now being progressively eroded.
