Tim Blackwell, Acting Chief Executive Officer, gave evidence today on behalf of Creative Australia as part of Hearing Block 6, which focused on practical guidance, training and frameworks to help organisations recognise, respond to and prevent antisemitism.
We acknowledge the evidence heard of the experiences of Jewish artists, arts workers and cultural organisations, and the broader challenges facing the sector in ensuring safe, respectful and inclusive creative environments.
The evidence also highlighted the complexity of the arts sector as a diverse network of workplaces, and the need for practical support to help organisations of different sizes and structures strengthen policies, conduct expectations and cultural understanding.
Through Creative Workplaces, Creative Australia will continue to support the sector with practical resources to strengthen workplace policies, cultural competency and practical support for safe and respectful creative workplaces.
Creative Australia will continue its work to support rigorous, transparent and consistent decision-making informed by artistic or creative merit and impact.
