Creative Australia
Creative Australia is the Australian Government’s principal arts investment and advisory body. With artists at the heart of what we do, we invest in creative talent and stimulate the market for Australian stories to be told on a national and international scale, sharing our rich culture with the world. We do this because art and creativity define us, recording what we have been and what we might yet become. As a nation, creativity connects us and benefits us all.
Creative Workplaces
As a new function established within Creative Australia, Creative Workplaces is driven by the mandate in the Creative Australia Act 2023 and the Australian Government’s National Cultural Policy, Revive, to generate positive change in fairness, safety and respect within arts and entertainment workplaces. We are committed to promoting fair, safe, and respectful workplaces through providing information and advice in relation to issues of pay, safety and wellbeing, and referring matters to the relevant authorities as required.
Our culture
We are proud to have been named an Inclusive Employer for the third consecutive time by the Diversity Council Australia. This achievement reflects our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Our people are passionate and dedicated to the delivery of our five-year strategy Creativity Connects Us. We strive to establish and sustain a diverse and inclusive workforce, fostering a culturally safe and supportive environment where everyone can bring their whole self to work.
The role
Picture this: You will lead the charge in designing and continuously refining our brand-new Creative Workplace website, a digital haven brimming with information, resources and innovative online tools to promote fair, safe, and respectful workplaces for artists, arts workers, and arts organisations.
Access and inclusion matters: You know accessibility is paramount and will ensure our content is not only impactful and engaging but also inclusive to all. From crafting frameworks and policies to curating educational resources on complex work issues in the arts, you’ll be the driving force behind empowering individuals and organisations.
Collaboration is the key to success: You’ll partner with our communication stars to ensure our editorial calendar is on point. When it comes to impact assessment, you’ll be on top of our website analytics and team up with our experts in evaluation to measure the true influence of our efforts. You won’t just be confined to your computer monitor; you will actively forge relationships with diverse stakeholders from all corners of the industry to make our strategic initiatives resonate far and wide.
