Applications open for Victoria’s Creative Enterprises Program

Applications are now open for Victoria’s Creative Enterprises Program, which provides four-year investment in the leadership, organisational infrastructure and capacity of non-government not-for-profit creative organisations across the state.

The program is open to organisations that work in any creative form and are based anywhere in Victoria. 

The program aims to fuel creative activity for the benefit of all Victorians. It invests in organisations that can work with Government to deliver on priorities, including to:

• support the resilience and growth of Victoria's creative industries;

• broaden the diversity of creators, artists and audiences; and

• enhance community engagement, access and participation in the creative industries across the state.

The application process will prioritise organisations that are working towards operational sustainability and have the capability to leverage a four-year investment.

This program has three streams:

1. First Peoples Organisations: Recognising and embracing Aboriginal self-determination principles, creativity and culture 

2. Industry Service Organisations: Recognising the benefit of the services that they provide to our creative ecology, communities and audiences

3. Creative Organisations: Recognising a record of achievement in the development and delivery of creative programs

Applications are now open and close 3pm, 3rd September 2025.
