Eleven creative organisations across Queensland will share in more than $2 million under the second batch of grants from the Morrison Governmentâs $200 million Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund, which is designed to reactivate live performance venues and events.
Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, said the latest RISE funding will begin to flow immediately to creative sector organisations throughout Queensland, to restart, re-imagine or create new cultural and creative activities.
âThe Arts and entertainment sector is fundamental to Queenslandâs identity, supporting cultural expression, community and social wellbeing, along with a significant boost to employment and economic benefits for the state,â Minister Fletcher said.

Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, today welcomed the release of the Australian Code of Practice on Disinformation and Misinformation by the Digital Industry Group (DIGI).
The new Code, the development of which will be overseen by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), is an industry initiative to combat the spread of harmful disinformation online.
“We’ve all seen the damage that online disinformation can cause, particularly among vulnerable groups,” Minister Fletcher said. “This has been especially apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“The Morrison Government will be watching carefully to see whether this voluntary code is effective in providing safeguards against the serious harms that arise from the spread of disinformation and misinformation on digital platforms.”
