South Australian Museum to consult stakeholders on strategic vision

Extensive consultation and listening to hundreds of stakeholders and communities will be conducted over the coming months on the future of the South Australian Museum.

The engagement will commence this month, following the Premier’s Review recommendations, which included halting previously proposed changes.

Museum staff, volunteers, honoraries, donors, benefactors, the academic community, First Nations communities, supporters, government and non-government stakeholders will be asked to contribute their views and ideas to develop a new Strategic Vision and Plan for the Museum’s future.

Museum visitors and members of the wider community will also have the chance to be involved.

The new Chair of the Museum’s Board, Emeritus Professor Robert Saint, says that the Board is committed to moving forward, together with all stakeholders having accepted and reflected on the recommendations of the Premier’s Review handed down in September 2024.

$4.1 million in additional funding has been provided by the SA Government to support the Museum’s operations and implementation of the recommendations.

More information about how to get involved in engagement activities will be made available on the Museum’s website in coming weeks.
