The Australia Council for the Arts, based in Sydney, is a leading organization that supports and invests in the thriving arts sector in Australia. They offer a wide range of products and services to foster creativity and cultural engagement. One of their key focuses is partnerships and co-investing.

They collaborate with government, industries, individuals, and families to maximize the impact and reach of their programs. By attracting private investments since the 1980s, they have a successful history of extending the outputs of public funds. Private investments come in the form of philanthropic gifts from individuals, corporations, trusts, and foundations.

These investments play a critical role in supporting Australian artists and arts organizations, pushing them towards excellence, scale, and innovation. The Australia Council's partnerships model, 'Partnerships with Purpose,' reflects their commitment to values-led ambition. Each co-investment relationship is assessed based on identified alignments of values and principles, collaborative and ethical activity, and consideration of the views of collaborating artists and other relevant parties.

Through their efforts, the Australia Council for the Arts strengthens the arts sector, increases public awareness of its value, and enables more Australians to engage with arts and culture
