The Fair Play Reflections Report captures seven years of learning, practice and impact from Fair Play: Equity, Inclusion and the Creative Industries — Diversity Arts Australia’s landmark national program for racial and cultural equity in the arts.
What began in 2019 as a two-year pilot with 20 Victorian organisations grew into a national program reaching 75 organisations across Australia. Over that time, Fair Play delivered 356 equity training and mentoring sessions and supported more than 2,000 participants — helping organisations move beyond intention and into meaningful, lasting change.
Grounded in an intersectional, human rights-based approach, the program equipped creative organisations with practical tools to embed cultural safety, accessibility and accountability into everyday practice. Many participants developed Equity Action Plans that advanced real structural change — not just policy commitments, but shifts in how organisations actually work.
The report is both a record of collective achievement and an invitation to keep going. Building on Fair Play’s impact, Diversity Arts Australia has developed Creative Equity Training — a new online, self-paced program to help the sector embed equity knowledge into organisational practice, now and into the future.
