• “NuunaRon (QLD) is established in 2018”
  NuunaRon (QLD), "a group for Aboriginal and Torres Strait artists and emerging artists living with disability," was established in 2018. The name NuunaRon is a portmanteau in honour of two disabled artists, Elders Aunty Nuuna (a saltwater Noonuccal woman) and Uncle Ron (a Kamilaroi man). The organisation is supported by Elders Living With Disability Australia (ELDA). NuunaRon “provides a safe space for people to share stories of resilience and keeping strong via yarning, painting and creating art.”
• “‘Arts and Disability: A Research Report’ published in 1995”
  In 1995, ‘Arts and Disability: A Research Report’ was published. Des Walsh and Juliet London were commissioned by the Australia Council to prepare the report. However, they found little information that was relevant to the theme of the report. In addition to a review of existing literature, they met with people involved in arts organisations, disability organisations and organisations dedicated to both, as well as funding bodies. Walsh and London outlined the different ways that disabled people interact with the arts: as artists, consumers, and through art therapy. They also recognised the “negative or unduly limiting notions attached to arts in relation to disability” (12). Overall, they found “no conclusive evidence […of a] widely shared, articulated concept of a ‘disability arts’ movement in Australia” at that time. The report was intended to inform meaningful policy going forward. They made recommendations related to buildings and physical barriers, leadership, education and training and action plans.
