Diversity in Australian arts and cultural sector - the data

Diversity Arts Australia, BYP Group and Western Sydney University launched our report today, Shifting the Balance: Cultural Diversity in Leadership in the Arts, Screen and Creative Sectors.

Highlights:

  • 51% of Australia’s top 200 cultural organisations have all white leadership

  • Just 9% of the 1,980 leaders of Australia’s top cultural organisations and award panels came from CALD backgrounds, compared to 39% of the Australian population

The full report is available on the Diversity Arts website, where you can also find information about other diversity projects.

My article on Artshub is available here.
