  • A Child Safety policy or framework if working with children or young people

Note: if you are successful in receiving funding you may be asked to confirm that key artists, arts workers and personnel have a Blue Card.

You must provide evidence of appropriate consultation with, and support from, communities or groups you are working with or telling the stories of. 

Please review the Queensland Arts Project Fund FAQs for practical examples and contact Arts Queensland if you are unsure whether this relates to your project.

Compulsory support material - auspiced applications (Not Applicable)

This section is not applicable because of your response to question: "Do any of the following things apply to your application?" on page 1

If you are an auspice body, you must provide evidence the application content, budget, and the auspice services have been approved by the artist/organisation on whose behalf the application has been submitted.

For example a signed letter, or an email or a video recording from the applicant that confirms their approval and references key details, such as a short description of the project, budget totals and any auspice fees.

Compulsory support material - marketing plan (Not Applicable)

This section is not applicable because of your response to question: "Do any of the following things apply to your application?" on page 1

Your proposal involves either attracting audiences, attendees, participants, viewers, and/or readers (i.e. has public outcomes)

You need to include a marketing plan outlining how you are going to reach your audience/participants. The level of detail in the plan should be appropriate to the size and scale of your project, and the number and demographic of people you are hoping to engage as attendees and/or participants.

For example, a project that requires a significant amount of income from ticket sales and needs audiences of over 1000 people to break-even would require a more detailed marketing plan than one which is doing a free performance for 50 people in a local pub.
