The priorities of the new strategy are, to:
+ rethink and expand the concept of mobility through testing dynamic engagement models that include digital, hybrid and in-person connection
+ leverage technologies and digital platforms for creation, distribution, networking, and increasing discoverability of Australian work
+ activate borderless thinking to build reciprocal and multilateral partnerships across regions and industries, and leverage co-investment
+ strengthen First Nations exchange that is First Nations-led and self-determined
+ amplify Asia Pacific engagement, and the perspectives of the Asia Pacific diaspora in Australia
+ diversify income and revenue streams to foster sustainable careers and business models by increasing access to markets, information and networks and showcase Australian work to global audiences and influencers
+ foster risk-taking, experimentation and innovation in creation, distribution, connection and profile-building
+ centre equity and access and reflect Australia’s diversity
+ embed sustainability through research and investment in best-practice models and frameworks to minimise the sector’s carbon footprint.
