An inquiry into Australia’s creative and cultural industries and institutions has opened for submissions. AAANZ will be making a submission on behalf of our members, but we encourage individual submissions as well. See below for a link to a survey individuals can fill out. You can read an excerpt from the announcement below, and ArtsHub here has an overview of how to contribute ‘Why you should make a submission to the Parliamentary Inquiry into the arts‘.
On 26 August 2020 Minister for Communications, Hon Paul Fletcher MP asked the Committee to inquire into and report on Australia’s creative and cultural industries and institutions. The terms of reference for the inquiry may be found here.
An online survey is also available, and can be found here:
Anyone can make a submission to the inquiry which addresses some or all of the terms of reference, by using the My Parliament system or email to communications.reps@aph.gov.au. Submissions do not have a set format, but should be prepared solely for the inquiry and should not be published prior to being accepted by the Committee. Further information about making a submission to a parliamentary inquiry is available here.
Submissions are requested by Thursday, 22 October 2020.
