Cultural industries are the lifeblood of a vibrant and creative society. They are also integral to Australia's business success and support industry through a range of essential and innovative services. The five Training Packages relating to Cultural and Related industries are designed to help creative people benefit and profit from their skills.

Australia's diverse cultural industries help shape Australians' perceptions of their culture and identity... They also communicate Australia's ideas about itself to the rest of the world.

The Cultural Industries comprise the following main sectors:

• Community cultural development;
• Dance
• Entertainment;
• Film, television and radio;
• Library and information services;
• Multimedia;
• Museums, galleries and cultural heritage sites;
• Music;
• Performing arts; and
• Visual arts, craft and design.

There's an art to success. IBSA's qualifications are designed to help creative people get an edge on the competition and learn how to turn their abilities into skills capable of generating personal and professional profit.
