Professional Development

Museums & Galleries of NSW present regular and one-off events and workshops annually.

Let’s Get Prepared
Let’s Get Prepared was awarded Service Needs Strategic Funding through Create NSW, enabling us to deliver eight disaster planning workshops across the state .

These workshops for small to medium museums and galleries will focus on disaster planning and recovery for cultural organisations. Delivered by museum consultants and conservators, the workshops will focus on understanding local disaster risks, creating support networks, taking practical measures to mitigate damage, developing an efficient disaster plan, and dealing with the aftermath of a disaster. The program will also include follow up consultations to continue to support participants.
