The Government will invest more than $535 million over four years from 2023-24 and more than $117 million per annum ongoing and indexed from 2027-28 to protect nine National Collecting Institutions.
The funding outcome was foreshadowed in the Government’s new National Cultural Policy – Revive: A place for every story, a story for every place, which committed the Government to assessing these Institutions future funding needs in the 2023-24 Budget. This funding supports Institutions that sustain our arts, culture and heritage and is consistent with the strong cultural infrastructure key pillar of the Policy.
