Arts Queensland Peer Assessors
The independent peer assessment process is central to Arts Queensland’s equitable funding decisions. Peer Assessors make a valuable contribution in supporting the Queensland arts and cultural sector and the Queensland Government’s delivery of Creative Together 2020-2030.
Peer Assessors review applications and make recommendations for Arts Queensland funding and provide advice on programs and policy. Arts Queensland aims to have 50% First Nations representation on all Arts Queensland assessment panels and 100% First Nations representation for First Nations-specific funds. This approach was originally co-designed with the First Nations Arts and Cultures Panel to support meaningful engagement with First Nations people, in line with the Arts Queensland Cultural Engagement Framework.
Following an Expression of Interest (EOI) process in early 2024 to recruit new Peer Assessors, all applications were reviewed and considered by an independent selection panel. All applicants have been informed of the outcome of their EOI, and successful Peers Assessors have now been inducted.
Peer Assessors are appointed for a period of up to 24 months. Assessor roles and responsibilities are outlined in the Arts Queensland Peer Assessors Handbook (PDF) (278.56 KB).
