Feedback, Complaints, Privacy and Government Information
Feedback
After you are advised of the outcome of your application you may request feedback from Create NSW (see contact details in Part Five).
Complaints
By submitting an application to the Arts and Cultural Funding Program you accept the conditions and assessment process set out in these guidelines.
Funding decisions are final and can only be appealed on grounds of probity.
If you believe that the published assessment process has not been followed for your application, please put your concern in writing and send it to the Integrity & Risk Manager, Create NSW at Level 7, 52 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2001.
If there is sufficient evidence to support an appeal on probity grounds, the appeal will be considered by a panel of independent members, chaired by an executive of the NSW Government not involved in the original process.
