Cultural Ministers Council was an Australia intergovernmental organisation for ministers of culture and the arts.
It was established in 1984[1] by the Prime Minister of Australia, Premiers of the Australian states and the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory. The Australian Capital Territory became a full member in 1990 as a consequence of being granted full self-governance with the passing of Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988. New Zealand became a full member in 1991 after previously having observer status. Australian Local Government Association, Norfolk Island and Papua New Guinea had observer status.[2] The council operated under the Broad Protocols and General Principles for the Operation of Ministerial Councils defined by the Council of Australian Governments.[3]
