Diversity Arts Australia has developed this form to document and track incidents of racial discrimination in the creative sectors. Your input will help us advocate for systemic change by raising awareness, sharing insights with government, the arts and creative industries, and relevant anti-discrimination and human rights bodies.

We will regularly report on the data collected to our communities, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to highlight patterns and inform anti-racism efforts. However, we cannot make formal complaints to authorities or other bodies unless required by mandatory reporting laws. At the end of this survey, we provide details of organisations that can offer support if you or someone you know has experienced racial harassment or discrimination.

To protect privacy and ensure a constructive process:
✅ Describe roles or positions rather than naming individuals (eg, "a festival director," "a funding assessor," or "a senior leader in my organisation").
✅ Focus on what happened—provide details about actions, policies, or environments that contributed to the incident.
✅ Avoid including personal names to maintain confidentiality.

All responses are confidential and collected to inform and strengthen our programs. We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). You can read our full Privacy Policy  here.

This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and contribute to change.
