"Labor will revitalise the national arts and disability strategy, work towards its implementation, and measure outcomes. This approach will ensure that access is embedded in Labor’s arts policy and programs. This approach will take time and we will work with stakeholders to ensure we get it right. Through increased funding to the Australia Council and across the arts sector a Shorten Labor Government will also foster new partnerships between small-to-medium and independent organisations that develop shared approaches to boost arts presentation and employment for people with disability." Renewing Creative Australia - Australian Labor Party's Arts and Cultural Policy, released 11 May 2019.
Excellent to see this support of artists with disability in Labor's newly launched arts and cultural policy!
