Expression of Interest — Now Open

Share Your Story Through Art

This is an opportunity to share your story through art and create a lasting visual identity for WorkSafe Victoria’s next stage in its reconciliation journey. We’re seeking an artwork that reflects the artist’s unique creative practice while celebrating culture, connection to Country and community through contemporary First Nations storytelling.

We welcome applications from First Nations artists who identify with Victorian Traditional Owner Nations and language groups, whether living on or off Country, as well as First Nations artists from other Nations who live, work or maintain strong connections to Victoria. Emerging, established and experienced artists working across all creative practices are encouraged to apply.
