For MGA, this is a major reconciliation initiative, and While the creation of Catalyst was bad for some parts of stemmed directly from a resolution of MGA members at the arts sector, it also had some positives for the museum, the Launceston national conference. gallery, and broader GLAM sector.

So, starting in 2015, we began a We had a two pronged approach. The first was to get very conscious effort to be visibly inclusive of the art directly to the Minister as MGA, the second was a GLAM museum sector, and, as they say, there is a lot in a name. group effort. Our National Director, Alex Marsden, MGA’s National Council decided to progressively include and I met with Minister Mitch Fifield and with senior “Gallery” in our branding, culminating in the change Arts officials, and one of the key issues we pushed was of our trading name to “Museums Galleries Australia”, that the museum and gallery sector is entitled to a grant better reflecting our membership. funding stream, as the arts are through the Australia Our founders created the then MA to be a very inclusive Council, and that if Catalyst was wound back (as it national member organisation, legally one entity but with has been) then funds need to be retained for us, or the significant representation in each State and Territory, and Australia Council changed to cover us.

  • Community and Planned Activity Group Guide
    1 Social connection, physical activity and involvement in community and group activities are key determinants of both mental and physical health. Planned Activity Groups and community groups are ways that people within the community, particularly those with diverse needs, can be supported to maintain active involvement in the community and maintain social connections with others. These groups also play a vital role in developing the skills of people with diverse needs to assist with living at home. The aim of this guide is to provide support for Planned Activity Group and community group coordinators in Melbourne‘s west to plan and organise activities which are appropriate for participants with a diverse range of needs. HealthWest Partnership and ISIS Primary Care have developed this guide through consultation with a range of Planned Activity Group and community group coordinators across the West. This guide recognises that Planned Activity Groups and community groups often have small budgets for their activities. This guide aims to support group coordinators by show casing the interesting and innovative activity ideas that many individual group coordinators have developed, as well as providing other ideas for cost-effective outings and in-house activities. HealthWest Partnership and ISIS Primary Care hope that this guide can be a useful resource and support group coordinators to continue the great work that is already occurring across the Western suburbs. 1 This guide aims to support Planned Activity Group and community group coordinators in providing cost-effective and innovative activities that meet the diverse needs of people who attend planned activity and community groups.

The Grant was for three components of the overall collection: the costumes and textiles, the maps, and the pictures. However we also considered the collection as a whole as it provides the context and the companions for these three components. The Society’s Mission and Aims refer consistently to ‘Kew and its environs’ – this shapes the collection policy and all related documents and is an important driver in acquisition and deacquisition decisions.
