Arts and Disability Portal National Rollout

According to the joint media release by Minister for Communications Mitch Fifield and Minister for Social Services Dan Tehan, ARTfinder will be rolled out nationally, as part of the National Arts and Disability Strategy

Established by Art Access Victoria, ARTfinder, is an online portal which provides comprehensive information on disability-inclusive arts activities, cultural institutions and events. 

The National Arts and Disability Strategy aims to improve opportunites for people with disability to participate in artistic and cultural activities. With the national rollout of ARTfinder, Local Area Coordinators (LACs) across the country will be able to locate available disability-inclusive art programs and experiences, which National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants can access. 

The Australian Government is providing $125,000 funding for the national rollout, with states and territories to collectively match that amount.
