In 2022, The Scanlon Foundation began a four-year journey with Museums Victoria to advance participation, cultural diversity and belonging across our museums and workplace.
The work that came out of this time is the Community Partnerships Program. A series of case studies which asked our community to lead us in new ways of working to address the under representation we saw in our gallery narratives, in our audiences and in our workforce. The purpose of this website is to share a brief overview of each initiative with our sector colleagues.
From community partnerships to enhance participation, to museum careers programs and diversifying audience experiences, explore the initiatives of our Community Partnerships Program below.

Our organisation, in partnership with the First Peoples of Victoria, is working to place First Peoples living cultures and histories at the core of our practice.
The Community Partnerships Program was made possible by the leadership generously given to us by Justice Nelson and Uncle Robbie Bundle and the deeply supportive impact they had upon artists, members and staff. We express to them our deepest gratitude.
