Creative Victoria
Creative Enterprise Program First Peoples-Led Review Framework

Strategy, First Peoples Engagement, Research and Insights

To support the delivery of Creative State 2025, Creative Victoria developed a suite of funding programs, including the Creative Enterprise Program (CEP). CEP provides multi-year investment in the leadership, organisational infrastructure, and capacity of non-government creative industry organisations to deliver on the Victorian Government’s Creative State 2025 priorities.

TThe Framework included Knowing and Doing indicators across four Domains previously identified by First Peoples consultants as part of the Best Practice Cultural Competency Framework.

Following completion of CEP application reviews, Greenshoot analysed the data to provide recommendations for future funding rounds and refining the Review Framework.

Building on this previous work to assess the cultural competency of 95 organisations funded through the Organisational Investment Program, Creative Victoria engaged Greenshoot to support Creative Victoria’s review of CEP applications from non-First Peoples organisations who were seeking to deliver against the Victorian Government’s First Peoples First principle.

To deliver this project, Greenshoot Consulting brought together a team of First Peoples consultants to co-design a Review Framework and corresponding report format to provide Creative Victoria staff, peer assessors and its First Peoples Directions Circle with the requisite information to inform assessment of applications and the structure of any potential future funding agreements.
