3. Key messages The forthcoming election is an opportunity for our political parties to pledge their support for our small to medium live performance companies and commit to restoring $72.8 million funding to the Australia Council Australia Council funding cuts to small to medium live performance companies that were announced recently will have a lasting impact on the diversity, creativity and potential of Australia’s live performance industry These cuts are the legacy of Coalition cuts to the Australia Council in 2014 and 2015 federal budgets. At a time when the Government is talking about jobs, growth and innovation, and supporting small business it is doing exactly the opposite to Australia’s live performance industry Live performance is a $2.5 billion industry for Australia – our small to medium companies are a critical part of this industry. They are innovators, they develop new and emerging talent, they provide jobs and career paths for talented Australians on and off the stage More than 18 million Australians attend a live performance each year – that’s more than all of the major sporting codes put together These cuts will have huge flow on effects impacting all parts of our industry including the major performing arts companies, venues, festivals and the commercial sector. Our creative and technical talent may be forced to move interstate or offshore for work and career development opportunities Restore $72.8 million to the Australia Council 2016 Federal Election: Stats and infographics3

4. Key messages (cont.) If asked about Catalyst Catalyst is no substitute for the Australia Council investing in small to medium companies which builds longer term capability and sustainability as opposed to one-off project grants There needs to be more strategy behind funding decisions – almost 40 per cent of companies that won project funding also lost their Australia Council operational funding The program should be more transparent We believe the Catalyst program is a useful additional funding source for arts companies outside of the Australia Council but not at the expense of the Australia Council’s budget allocation 2016 Federal Election: Stats and infographics4
