The Australian Government's International Cultural Diplomacy Arts Fund (ICDAF) provides support for Australia's global cultural engagement activities, increasing access to international markets and audiences.

The Government has announced funding for four projects:

  • First Nations artist Dan Sultan to perform a series of events at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
  • Chunky Move, a Melbourne-based contemporary dance company to support a tour of 13 performances in the UK, Belgium, Norway, Netherlands, Portugal and Luxembourg, a televised performance in Spain and a one-week residency at the Performing Arts Forum in France.
  • Hi Viz Satellites, a partnership between contemporary music and performance companies Chamber Made (Melbourne), Punctum Inc (Castlemaine, Victoria) and SAtheCollective (Singapore) that connects artists across cultures, geographies and artforms. In addition to the three companies, the initiative also includes a number of Taiwanese artists.
  • Regen Studios to support Australian director Damon Gameau and youth cast members from Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Uganda, Scotland, Wales and the Netherlands to attend the screening of their documentary Future Council at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York at the end of this month.
