Applications are now open for our Disability and Culturally Diverse Internship Program! These paid internships are in partnership with Accessible Arts and a range of arts, cultural and screen organisations across NSW and the ACT.

We hope the legacy of this program will be a network of cultural access consultants who will help improve access to arts, culture and community events for people with disability from racially marginalised backgrounds.

Applications are open to anyone who identifies as both a person with disability and/or d/Deaf, as well as culturally and linguistically diverse/person of colour. Person with disability includes anyone with sensory or physical conditions, learning disability, chronic illnesses, mental health conditions or who is neurodivergent.

Who is eligible to apply?

Any NSW or ACT-based person over the age of 18 who identifies as both a person with disability and/or d/Deaf and culturally and linguistically diverse/person of colour, who have been actively engaged in or seeking career opportunities in the arts, screen and cultural sector is eligible.

Applications are encouraged from people with all levels of previous experience, including those new to the workforce.

  • Person with disability includes anyone with sensory or physical conditions, learning disability, chronic illnesses, mental health conditions or who is neurodivergent.
  • Culturally and linguistically diverse/person of colour includes those who identify as First Nations’ peoples, Black, migrant and those of refugee backgrounds.
