Halfway through the rollout of Revive: a place for every story, a story for every place, Australia’s five-year national cultural policy, this session provides a timely snapshot of the evolving policy landscape and what it means for regional artists, organisations, and the industry.

Millie Millgate from Music Australia will share current initiatives supporting regional music – including national investment, touring programs, and future plans to strengthen connections across the country.

Dr Christen Cornell from Creative Australia will present recent and ongoing music research projects, offering insights into national trends and priorities, and how they relate specifically to regional music.
