Regional Arts Australia promotes the development of the arts for the one-in-three Australians who live in regional, rural and remote parts of the country. Our members give country Australians access to outstanding cultural experiences that are home grown or tour from other towns and cities.

In this way, Regional Arts Australia gives a voice to artists and puts culture at the heart of community life across country Australia.

The main objective of the Australian Government's Regional Arts Fund (RAF) is to encourage and support sustainable, community-related cultural development in regional, remote and isolated communities in Australia.

While the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) is responsible for the program, it is delivered on behalf of the Australian Government by the peak regional arts organisations in each state and by arts ministries in the territories.

The Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) is the Australian Government's principal source of advice on social policy and is responsible for about a quarter of the government's budgetary outlays.

FaHCSIA is responsible for coordinating a whole of government approach to programs and services for Indigenous Australians, and has a central role in the Australian Government's arrangements in Indigenous Affairs. A large number of staff are employed throughout regional Australia based in Indigenous Coordination Centres. The centres help to implement a whole-of-government approach to delivering Indigenous services and programs.
