ACMI - Australian Centre for the Moving Image

ACMI is an innovative, dynamic, performance-orientated cultural business. It is self-directed, though it falls within the Victorian public sector.

ACMI seeks to nurture an entrepreneurial team spirit delivering varied cultural, creative and performance aims. In an environment of hard working but passionate enthusiasm for our subject matter and audiences, ACMI aims to provide rich opportunities for staff and organisational interests to thrive.

Our mission

Our values

The moving image is accessible to all

Innovation requires experimentation and risk taking

We enable a culture that embraces creative risk taking, supporting bold ideas and new voices with energy and commitment

Collaboration enables real accomplishment

We have policies and procedures in place to manage concerns about unacceptable behaviour and we are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all workplace participants.
