Introducing NAVA’s Code of Practice Training Courses

Upholding ethical standards and embracing good industry practices in the professional contemporary arts sector is crucial. To empower artists, arts workers and organisations with the necessary knowledge and understanding, NAVA proudly announces its new online, interactive Code of Practice Training Course.

Endorsed by the Australian Government as part of National Cultural Policy - Revive, the Code of Practice for Visual Arts, Craft and Design (the Code) is an essential resource for artists, arts workers and organisation staff at every level. Whether it’s making pivotal decisions, forming agreements or nurturing effective working relationships, the Code serves as a map for ensuring a collaborative, equitable, creative, and inclusive sector.

The training course aims to clarify the Code's application in real-world situations, helping participants understand its relevance and how to apply it effectively to everyday tasks and bigger challenges.

Through interactive learning modules, including instructional videos, exercises and case studies, we will dissect various sections of the Code. Additionally, participants will have access to a dedicated community message board to exchange insights and foster a collaborative learning platform.

There are four Code of Practice Training Courses tailored for:

• Artists
• Independent Arts Workers
• Small to Medium (S2M) Organisations
• Large Organisations & Major Institutions

Each course is $139 per person, with NAVA Members receiving a 30% discount. Access the coupon code or become a member to receive this discount.
