The Creative Australia Amendment (Implementation of Revive) Bill 2024 passes through Parliament
The Parliament of Australia has passed the Creative Australia Amendment (Implementation of Revive) Bill 2024 today. This is the final piece of legislation in establishing all the functions of Creative Australia under the National Cultural Policy, Revive. Subject to the Bill receiving Royal Assent and confirmation of the date of Proclamation (meaning the commencement date), the Amendments allow us to establish the First Nations Board and First Nations division of Creative Australia (this year) and Writing Australia (next year).
The First Nations Board will be appointed by Minister for the Arts, The Hon Tony Burke MP. Once the appointments are announced we will convene the first meeting of the First Nations Board, it is anticipated that at least one meeting will be held before the end of the year.
Appointments to the Writing Australia Council will also be made by Minister for the Arts, The Hon Tony Burke MP. The first meeting will be convened once the appointments are announced, noting that Writing Australia will commence from 1 July 2025.
If you would like to express your interest in joining either the First Nations Board or the Writing Australia Council, please complete the form on the Office for the Arts website here
