Key highlights for 2020–21 include:
- The number of objects in our national collections has reached an all-time high of 12.1 million.
- Over 2.3 million objects have now been digitised (equating to 19.5% of the total collections).
- The proportion of objects available to the public online has increased to 14.7%.
- The cumulative audience of Screen Australia supported TV productions grew to 148.5 million.
This is the ninth year this information has been captured, building a comprehensive picture of trends in visitation, audience reach and educational programs.
