Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: We all have a role to play in fostering spaces that are accessible, relevant, and inclusive. This announcement acknowledges the wonderful work being done across creative spaces, organisations, and community groups. They play a vital role in helping people to experience fulfilment, a sense of achievement, and increased self-esteem. As part of the Government's response to COVID-19, creative spaces also delivers on both outcomes of the Creative Arts Recovery and Employment Fund. This announcement underlines our focus on creating employment and opportunities to upskill, as well as enhancing access to and participation in the arts and cultural sector.
