The NSW Government released its 10-year Arts, Culture and Creative Industries Policy, ‘Creative Communities’, in December 2023.

You can see a summary of the policy here, the full policy here, and the Minister’s announcement here.

Copyright Agency made a brief submission to consultation on the policy (here).

The NSW Government endorses Revive, the national cultural policy (here), and its policy complements Revive.

Among other things, Revive recognises the importance of a well-functioning copyright system to Australia’s creative industries:

The Government is committed to maintaining a strong copyright framework that works in concert with other legal and policy mechanisms – including funding support for the creative industries, our broader intellectual property framework, the regulation of broadcasting and content industries, and celebration and protection of First Nations arts and culture – to support the success and vibrancy of Australia’s cultural and creative sector.
