First Nations emerging artist engagement for WorkSafe Victoria

Expression of interest (EOI)

About the initiative

WorkSafe Victoria would like to invite Victoria-wide First Nations artists, as well as individual or collective First Nations artists who are living on or have connection to Wadawurrung Country, to participate in the WorkSafe Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) design. This initiative champions reconciliation, honours Indigenous culture, and visually embodies our commitment to unity.
