As the Budget nears, we remind @JoshFrydenberg @Treasury_AU @PaulFletcherMP @AusGovArts of our Pre-Budget Submission. We're still the only arts sector with no federal support. With help, together we'll build a billion dollar industry that hires thousands. igea.net/wp-content/uploads/…

Take a look at our new game that explores breast cancer! The game is designed to help families understand how to move forward and the people that are there to help. It was an incredibly difficult game to make, but something we're really proud of!
