Impact of community broadcasters recognised in Australia’s new cultural policy
Written by 3MDR on February 3, 2023
The community broadcasting sector has today welcomed the launch of a new national cultural policy – Revive: a place for every story, a story for every place.
The policy recognises the important role of community broadcasting and acknowledges the need for Government action to “increase support for community broadcasting to deliver local news, tell local stories, and provide a platform for diverse voices and Australian music.”
The policy also highlights the work of First Nations broadcasters in supporting and strengthening First Nations languages and connections to culture in communities across Australia.
The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) strongly supports the new National Cultural Policy and welcomes the formation of Creative Australia – the Government’s new principal arts investment and advisory body.
The CBAA also welcomes the creation of Music Australia – a new body dedicated to investing in homegrown music.
