National Cultural Policy submissions closed on 24 May 2026, but you can continue to help spread the word about support for the craft and design sector. The more people who engage the stronger the signal that we will send to the government. Use your social channels to reach designers, makers, educators, audiences, collectors, and anyone who cares about design and craft in Australia.

Ask 1 - Workforce plan

Ask 1 of 3: We’re calling for a 10-year workforce plan for craft and design. Across Australia, specialist training pathways have been cut and the shortage of skilled designers and craftspeople is documented and worsening. We need a long-term plan that invests in skills and career pathways, keeps money in Australian communities, and builds the market for designers and design-led manufacture. #nationofmakers

Ask 2 - Craft and design structure

Ask 2 of 3: We’re calling for a dedicated craft and design structure within Creative Australia. Not a new standalone body, but structured internal capacity with its own mandate to advocate for the sector, develop funding pathways, and coordinate across government, backed by investment to secure the future of designers, makers and craft practice across the country. #nationofmakers

Ask 3 - Export strategy

Ask 3 of 3: We’re calling for an export and tourism development strategy for Australian designers and makers. There is significant unrealised potential in international markets. Australian designers are recognised internationally – we need a strategy that positions Australian craft and design in front of global audiences. #nationofmakers
