Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund has announced $754,769 in funding for 42 Australian literary and creative organisations.
The Cultural Fund provides commissions and paid opportunities in audience or sector development projects for the writing, publishing and visual arts sectors.
From the 64 eligible applications received, 42 were approved for funding, including support for four writers’ festivals (Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, NT) along with support for the National Teachers’ Conference in Hobart in July 2025.
Copyright Agency CEO Josephine Johnston says, “We’re delighted that this round is supporting key projects to benefit our industry. We recently adjusted our funding priorities, to ensure the Cultural Fund’s support remains impactful and relevant, with a focus on sector and audience development and to benefit projects aligned to Reading Australia.
“We’re thrilled to have received so many strong applications that will deliver exceptional opportunities for the Australian creative sector in 2025.”
This round of supported projects includes the Australian Publishers Association’s Leadership Program for Educational Publishers, which received $40,000. The Program will target mid-career educational publishing staff and is designed to support the development of the next generation of industry leaders through in-person and online training and networking.
