Visions committee
The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts appoints members of the Visions of Australia Committee. The members have expertise in a wide range of relevant areas and come from most States and Territories. An Australia Council representative acts as an observer at committee meetings but is not a member of the committee.
The committee makes a preliminary assessment of each eligible application in accordance with the assessment criteria in the Program Guidelines. The committee makes funding recommendations to the Minister, however, as funding under the Visions of Australia program is discretionary, it is the Minister who makes the final funding decision.
