Melba’s Arthur Creative performers are about to spread their wings, thanks to an $8,000 Community Impact Grant from Ballarat City Council. The money allowed Arthur’s performers to buy portable music equipment – such as speakers, keyboards, microphones, mixing desks and lighting – which will enable them to perform at venues they were unable to before.
Statement from CEO Hayley Dean in response to reports Virgin Australia recently refused to allow two people using wheelchairs to board its aircraft at Melbourne Airport. “Accessibility is not an act of goodwill – it’s a human right,” she says. “Every person deserves to travel without being excluded or humiliated.”
Melba’s Arthur Creative performers left a lasting impression at this year’s Royal South Street Society Ballarat Eisteddfod, earning six awards across a range of categories and highlighting the depth of talent within the group. “We are actively working with government agencies, the NDIA, and sector partners to develop sustainable models,” she says.
