Creative Economy Taskforce welcomes new Chair and member

The Australian Government has appointed a new Chair and member of the Creative Economy Taskforce.

5 October 2021

The Australian Government has appointed Ms Rachel Healy, Joint Artistic Director of the Adelaide Festival, as Chair of the Creative Economy Taskforce until August 2022, and Ms Barbara Moore, CEO of the Biennale of Sydney, as a new Taskforce member.

Ms Healy's experience as a senior leader in the cultural and creative sector and as an established member of the Creative Economy Taskforce equipped her well to lead the Taskforce.

Ms Moore brings distinguished experience and insight in the cultural and creative sector to the Taskforce, especially in the contemporary visual arts industry.

Both appointments will support the recovery of Australia's vibrant creative and cultural sector following the impacts of the pandemic.
