Agenda 21 for Culture:  Commission for Culture, United Cities and Local Governments (international peak body for local government)
CDN shares the Commission of Culture’s goal for the recognition of culture as a fundamental aspect of public policy, along with other policy areas relating to social, economic and environmental areas.

City of Melbourne: CDN is grateful for the support of the City of Melbourne, through the provision of office space and administrative supplies.  CDN and City of Melbourne’s Arts and Participation Program work together to produce the ArtsTalk series; a program of free public forums around topics of interest to cultural development workers.

VicHealth: VicHealth and CDN have partnered on a number of initiatives, where the two organisations’ interests align. In 2011, CDN is pleased to be working with VicHealth on the redevelopment of the Audience Access Standards Tool and the LEAP project.

VCAM:  CDN is pleased to partner with the Centre for Cultural Partnerships at the Victorian College of the Arts and Music, University of Melbourne, in the co-ordination of the Culture and Community Researchers’ Network. This informal group meets monthly to discuss research being produced by group members.  Meetings are usually held on the first Thursday afternoon of the month, 3.30-5.30, in City of Melbourne’s Council House 2 building.
