We’re delighted to announce the recipients of the 2024 round of the Fellowship, Mentorship and Volunteer Placement Program.
The program offers valuable professional development opportunities for museum and gallery staff, as well as volunteers across New South Wales. Fellowships support senior professionals to undertake a two-week placement with an international institution, while Mentorships are available to early to mid-career staff, providing the chance to work with an Australian host organisation. Volunteer Placements enable individuals from small or volunteer-run museums to gain experience within a cultural institution in Australia.
The Fellowship, Mentorship and Volunteer Placement Program is a Create NSW devolved funding program, administered by Museums & Galleries of NSW on behalf of the NSW Government.
