Summary of Good Practice Recommendations

Organisations have a responsibility to:

• ensure that artists and employees of all gender identities are afforded the safety, security and dignity they are entitled to under anti-discrimination law

• engage in the positive duty to eliminate unlawful sex discrimination and harassment in the workplace

• consider how gender roles and conceptions of gendered labour vary between cultural contexts, especially within non-First Nations and First Nations communities

• ensure women, trans, non-binary and gender diverse artists are afforded opportunities for professional growth and to take part in governance and decision-making

• redress historical gender inequities in art collections through measures such as targets, policies, and targeted collection fundraising

• provide all-gender bathrooms, suitable all-gender spaces for feeding and changing infants, and provisions for childcare

• avoid tokenism and essentialism when organising exhibitions and events around themes related to gender

Artists have a responsibility to:

• support the equitable treatment of fellow artists, peers and arts workers in professional contexts

• share their pronouns if they wish to do so

• consider the politics of gender representation in relation to their own practices

• behave appropriately and professionally in work settings and contexts
