The NCITO program provides Australian audiences with opportunities to access high quality cultural material from our national collections. Funding will also support regional and remote communities as they begin the process of recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
NCITO supports the Australian National Maritime Museum, Bundanon Trust, Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, National Archives of Australia, National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, National Library of Australia, National Museum of Australia, and the National Portrait Gallery of Australia to tour Australian and international cultural material to audiences around the country and to take Australian works overseas.
