Authentic Casting Campaign

'PT Perspectives', Artist Book, by Larissa MacFarlane, included in 'Discrimination; The good, the bad and the ugly' 2014

If we are to reach our vision of full and equal arts and cultural participation and contribution for people with disability, we must start by increasing the visibility of people with disability in arts and culture; ensure they are seen regularly on our stages and screens; and are recognised for excellence, not inspiration.

AAA is committed to changing the representation of people with disability in the media, on stage and on screen by:

Promoting authentic stories and voices in the media, and furthering the conversation around authentic casting.
Endorsing culturally ambitious Australian artists with disability and performances that feature characters with disability on stage and on screen.
Advocating for the employment for people with disability on stage and screen, and as writers, directors and producers.
