The new organization will build on the achievements of national advocacy and networking organization Arts and Health Australia (AHA) and forge a longterm future through an established board, advisory committee and special interest working parties.
The organization is developing a sustainable funding model that will provide a central hub for information and resources for the arts and health sector in Australia and internationally.
ACAH has been established to represent and influence arts and health practice in Australia, working closely with the sector to form a united vision and movement nationally.
ACAH is an organization with outstanding international connections and will stand alongside peak bodies in the UK (National Alliance for Arts, Health and Wellbeing), USA (Global Alliance for Arts and Health), Canada (ArtsHealth Network Canada) and support new peak body initiatives under development, such as in Singapore and Hong Kong.
The Arts and Health Australia website www.artsandhealth.org will be redeveloped in 2013 for the new entity – Australian Centre for Arts and Health.
