SUBMISSION: Senate Inquiry into Australia’s creative and cultural industries

The Arts Law Centre of Australia welcomes the opportunity to respond in respect of Inquiry into Australia’s creative and cultural industries and institutions including, but not limited to, Indigenous, regional, rural and community based organisations.

Arts Law broadly supports the Inquiry’s attention to the relevant economic factors in the current creative climate in Australia, particularly post pandemic. We are a non-profit organisation which derives no direct financial benefit from the trade in the works and IP rights of the artists we advise. This positions us to provide independent comment, though clearly with artists’ interests foremost in our reasoning.
