The Department of Education's Arts Unit Operations and Administration team manages and provides policy advice on the Regional Conservatorium Grants Program.
This program provides annual government funding and support to eligible, community-based conservatoriums of music in non-metropolitan NSW.
The team also coordinates the Non-Tertiary Music Education Grants Program, which provides annual government funding to the Conservatorium High School and to the Conservatoriums of Music of the University of Sydney and the University of Newcastle to support their community programs.
