A public consultation to inform the development of the Australian Government’s $2.25 million Arts and Screen Employment Pathways Pilot Program (the program) is now open.

The Office for the Arts (OFTA) program will match early to mid-career d/Deaf and disabled artists and arts workers with arts, cultural, screen and digital games organisations for temporary job placements.

OFTA invites these individuals as well as arts, cultural, screen and digital games organisations, arts and disability organisations, and disability organisations to share their views on how the program should be designed. 

This will help ensure it meets the accessibility and cultural safety needs of participants and host organisations. The placements will provide participants with valuable experience to advance their careers, while host organisations will gain access to skilled talent whose salaries are paid through the program.

The consultation closes 5:00pm (AEST) Wednesday 20 August 2025.
