Funding
ACAD has been awarded > $20m dollars worth of research funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC), State and Federal Government agencies since establishing in 2005. and has several linkages with international collaborators and museums.
We greatly appreciate and acknowledge the support of the ARC and our Business Partners for our continued research endeavours.
