Host organisations: register your interest

Host a paid placement: register your interest  

Arts, cultural, screen and digital games organisations across Australia are invited to express their interest to host a paid placement of up to 12 months for an early to mid-career d/Deaf or Disabled artist, arts or creative worker through the Australian Government’s Arts and Screen Employment Pathways Pilot Program (the Program).

Placements can be open to any art form and any position level across Australia. The Program funds the participant’s wages, superannuation and on-costs. Host organisations receive an access and cultural safety audit, training, and support for the placement period. Placements are expected to start from April 2027.

Organisations of any size can apply, from every state and territory, including regional and remote areas. We particularly encourage applications from d/Deaf and Disabled-led, First Nations-led, and CaRM-led organisations. We also encourage organisations that have a track record of working with and employing d/Deaf and Disabled people.
