The Australia Council for the Arts is seeking applications for the Regional Performing Arts Touring program to support performing arts to reach regional and remote communities across Australia.

- additional cleaning or staffing costs within venues
- touring costs for understudies or additional crew in the touring party
- costs for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or other safety equipment.
What you can’t apply for?
You can’t apply for the following activity:
- projects for which the performers and artistic personnel are not paid at award rates
- projects that are to tour an international production
- touring projects that only include capital city or metropolitan presentations
- touring projects that only include presentations in schools

- projects with a budget in surplus.
Eligibility Criteria

- you owe money to the Australia Council.
