2.7 Relationship with state and territory funding bodiesoThe Council should work to establish deeper and more formalised mechanisms for discussion withstate and territory arts funding bodies.Recommendations: Duplication and LinkagesRecommendation 3The Review recommends that the Council work to remove duplication through the merger of AbaF andthe Artsupport program as recommended by the Review of Private Sector Support for the Artsundertaken by Mr Harold Mitchell AO in 2011. However, this Review recommends the merged functionsshould sit within the Australia Council, subject to the resolution of the taxation issues surroundingtransfer of the Australia Cultural Fund which is administered by AbaF.Recommendation 4The Review recommends that the Council and OFTA undertake a joint program audit. This audit wouldtake account of the Council's new purpose and apply the excellence versus access filter to currentprograms. The agreed program split would then be the subject of sector consultation, beforeimplementation.The Council is best placed to focus its resources on supporting and recognising excellence inIndigenous arts practice and OFTA is best placed to support access to Indigenous arts practice,with its attendant, wider social and economic objectives, in community.A similar principle to that above may also apply to community arts projects.The audit must include assessment of touring programs. The Council should administer thoseprograms which focus on work of excellence and OFTA on those which promote access to artisticproduct.Service delivery, wherever possible, should be devolved to the sector.Recommendation 5The Review recommends that the Council work to grow the Council's linkages. The Review:(a) concludes that the Council has a clear and important role in supporting professional development inthe arts sector as part of its remit to support works of artistic excellence. To this end, the Reviewrecommends the Council become a member of the Australian Roundtable for Arts Training Excellencein order to engage more directly with the national Arts Training Organisations. The Council’s supportin the professional development area should extend to supporting strategic initiatives in the sector aswell as specific programs of support. Particular initiatives identified through the Review’sconsultations for further investigation include:• the development of a ‘mentor bank’, matching expertise (both artistic and administrative) in19
