Creatives with disability looking to gain professional experience with leading NSW arts, screen and music organisations can now apply for accessible and inclusive internships for 2026.
Now open, NSW creative practitioners with disability or who are d/Deaf are invited to apply for a variety of internship roles with 20 host organisations across NSW, including new hosts coming on board for 2026, such as Western Sydney arts organisations Campbelltown Arts Centre, CuriousWorks and Powerhouse Youth Theatre (PYT) and new music and screen organisations in regional NSW, Yours and Owls Festival and Far South Films.
The hands-on roles range from production and technical to marketing, digital content creation and artist liaison for major programs. Each role is designed to accommodate flexibility, and workplace adjustments to enable people with disability or who are d/Deaf to share and develop valuable skills and make a meaningful contribution to each organisation.
This year, four extended internships of up to 8-weeks’ equivalent are available for the first time, in addition to 12 four-week equivalent roles.
With the greatest number of creative industries host organisations participating in 2026 since the program first launched, the Createability Internship Program is aiming to open doors to accessible employment for up to 16 interns this year, more than ever before.
The internships are made possible through $150,000 investment from Create NSW, Screen NSW and Sound NSW, in partnership with disability advocacy organisation Accessible Arts NSW.
Applications for 2026 Createability Internships are open until 15 December 2025. For more information or to apply, visit create.nsw.gov.au
