Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund - Guidelines Amended
The RISE Fund is supporting the arts and entertainment sector to reactivate through targeting funding to assist in the presentation of cultural and creative projects, activities and events to rebuild confidence amongst investors, producers and consumers.
The RISE guidelines have been amended to better articulate which organisations may apply and what activities are eligible for funding. Key changes include:
- There is no longer a requirement for projects to be new or reimagined. Applications can be submitted for new, existing or recurring arts projects, activities or events so long as they meet all eligibility criteria.
- Local governments are now eligible to apply for funding to support cultural and creative projects, events and activities
- Individual business units and entities of state or territory governments with an arts or cultural heritage purpose are also eligible to apply without the need to have a separate ABN.
- The recommended minimum request for funding has been lowered to $25,000, lower amounts will still be considered. Amounts of greater than $2 million will be considered where warranted as assessed on a case-by-case basis.
The guidelines and frequently asked questions (FAQs) can be accessed at the Australian Government's GrantConnect website.

804 Fewer Schools by 2041: The Delayed Impacts of Closed Borders
The reduction in the number of school-aged students forecast in the next 20 years is among the most significant flow-on effects of the pandemic and the resulting border closures.
Our COVID-adjusted forecasts show that, by 2041, there will be 519,000 fewer school-aged children in Australia than previously forecast (318,000 primary and 201,000 secondary-school aged).
If you assume an average new primary school has 500 students, this equates to the equivalent of 636 fewer primary schools than would’ve been required had COVID-19 not happened and 168 fewer secondary schools (assuming the size of 1,200 students).
