More support for Australia’s National Collecting Institutions
The Morrison Government will boost its support for Australia’s key National Collecting Institutions with an additional $79.9 million in the 2021-22 Budget to be delivered next week.
This includes $11.3 million over four years for the Museum of Australian Democracy at the Old Parliament House.
Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, said supporting our National Collecting Institutions is critical and this funding boost will make sure that we can continue to preserve Australia’s cultural heritage.
“We recognise the challenges the pandemic has created for our National Collecting Institutions. That’s why we are delivering this significant funding package to help rebuild the economy, secure jobs and support communities as we continue our resurgence from COVID-19,” Minister Fletcher said.
