澳大利亚公平工作委员会周五作出临时决定，在《娱乐、休闲、活动和艺术奖励2020》中正式添加"艺术"一词，将艺术工作纳入现代奖励制度的保护范围1。这一决定为长期处于边缘地位的艺术工作者提供了最低工资标准和就业条件的法律保护1。
澳大利亚有超过260,000人从事艺术相关工作1。然而，约80%的执业艺术家为非雇员身份，作为承包商、自由职业者或独立经营者工作1，暂不在本次保护范围内。修正案将适用于公共和商业画廊、博物馆、艺术家工作室、社区艺术组织、艺术节和巡回展览等工作场所1。这一临时决定标志着全国视觉艺术协会自2022年启动"承认艺术家为工作者"运动以来取得的重要进展1。
Australia's Fair Work Commission has made a provisional determination to include arts workers under the modern awards framework, amending the Entertainment, Leisure, Activity and Arts Award 2020 to formally recognise "arts" as a category 1. The decision extends minimum wage standards and employment protections to a sector that has long operated on the margins of Australia's industrial relations system, though professional artists who typically work as freelancers or contractors remain excluded from these provisions 1.
The arts sector employs over 260,000 workers in Australia, yet approximately 80 per cent of practising artists operate outside traditional employment arrangements, working instead as contractors, freelancers, or self-employed operators 1. This structural reality has left many arts workers without the legal protections afforded to employees in other industries. The provisional nature of the decision means final details remain to be determined 1.
The amendment will apply across multiple work settings, including public and commercial galleries, museums, artist studios, community arts organisations, festivals, and touring exhibitions 1. The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) initiated the "Recognise Artists as Workers" campaign in 2022, which helped drive momentum toward this regulatory shift 1.
