The Digital Specialist in Residence for First Nations Organisations program provides First Nations arts and culture organisations with fourteen weeks' access to a digital specialist who will assist in the development of the organisation's Digital Capacity Strategy.

The digital specialist will collaborate with the organisation in four phases:

1. Assess: the specialist will guide you through a process to identify the organisation's current digital capacity
2. Vision: a process of vision and investigation to identify digital challenges and opportunities for your organisation
3. Development: development of a digital project tailored to the value, people and context of the organisation
4. Pilot & Refine: launch project, evaluate early learnings, present findings.

This program also provides $3,000, seed funding to assist in piloting a new digitally led project. You will work with the digital specialist on your proposed digital project idea during the course of the residency.

Please note: You do not need to supply a budget with your application.
