Do you want to see support for books, creators, and reading prioritised by the Federal Government? Then please join Jacinta and Danielle in making a submission to the policy consultation by 24 May 2026.

The Australian Government has launched a national consultation for Australia’s next National Cultural Policy – and they want to hear from you. Building on the achievements of the current policy, Revive: a place for every story, a story for every place, this new policy will provide a framework for supporting the creative and cultural sector – including literature, books and reading.

And some great organisations that have provided templates or easy to use submission guides and suggestions include;
— Books Create Australia
— Australia Reads
— Australian Society of Authors
—Australian Booksellers Association
