Since 1994 we have been working to uplift and support South Australia’s emerging creatives to build and sustain their careers.

We are a unique collaborative partnership, unifying the skills and resources of our state’s three universities to support graduates as they commence their creative careers.

We are here to foster links between South Australia’s higher education institutions, the arts, and the community, which in turn enriches our broader society and ensures that the next generation of creative practitioners not only survive, but they thrive.

The Helpmann Academy acknowledges that we are on Kaurna Country, its sovereignty never ceded. We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide Plains and as the first and enduring storytellers of this land. We recognise and celebrate their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with this country and pay respect to the Kaurna Elders; past, present, and emerging.
