Dear members,
At that time in 2016, while the Australia Council used reserves to ensure that 124 organisations could receive funding, there were still 65 organisations who had previously been funded who were not successful, and more than 100 other hopeful new entrants who were not successful. There was a lot of pain as a result. And as we know, the grant rounds became even more competitive, with independents now competing with companies who still had to find a way to make work.
