    Update: In line with the Victorian Government’s Creative State 2025 strategy, work is currently underway to develop programs that best meet the needs of Victoria’s independent creative sector.

    Upcoming programs will continue to include funding streams for:

    • First Peoples applicants
    • Deaf and disabled applicants
    • Independent creative professionals, collectives, micro and small businesses and organisations.

    More details will be available later in 2021
