Following media allegations in April 2023 about the APY Art Centre Collective's practices—including interference with artists' creative control and financial coercion—Arts Ministers from the Australian, South Australian, and Northern Territory governments agreed to a joint investigation on 15 May 2023. The South Australian Government led the formal review, which was completed in December 2023 and encompassed procurement of three reviewers (including two First Nations experts and a barrister), visual arts expertise, travel to remote APY locations, and translation services. A departmental briefing from June 2024 sought approval for the Australian Government to provide $333,374.80 (GST inclusive) to South Australia under section 23 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, classifying the payment as a procurement arrangement to fund the completed review.
