The Australian Government released its National Cultural Policy—Revive: a place for every story, a story for every place, on 30 January 2023 at the Esplanade Hotel, St Kilda.

Revive is a five-year plan to renew and revive Australia's arts, entertainment and cultural sector – supporting Australia's creative workers, organisations and audiences of the future.

As Victoria's peak arts organisation promoting cultural diversity in the arts, MAV looks forward to working with the Federal Government to ensure that policy settings, institutional frameworks, programs and resources are targeted towards improved cultural equity for diverse creatives and communities.

As an organisation with a broad national and global peer-to-peer network of diaspora communities, we also look forward to working with the Government on plans for soft diplomacy and building closer international ties through the arts.
