This is known as the Cultural Fund. The Cultural Fund supports a wide variety of projects which aim to encourage, and provide practical assistance to Copyright Agency's members and the Australian cultural community.

The Cultural Fund has two areas of focus:

Major cultural projects

This is the main fund, usually allocated to organisations running projects which will have a broad cultural benefit. The priority for this fund is to support innovation in the Australian creative industries and to develop local and foreign markets for Australian works. Apply here.

Creative Industries Career Fund

$150,000 a year is allocated from the Cultural Fund to form the Creative Industries Career Fund. This fund supports individual Australian creators and those involved in the creative industries who wish to develop their professional skills. Applicants can apply for grants of up to $5,000 to undertake training and other activities that will enhance their careers. Apply here.
