Thank you for your interest in applying for the 2025 Forrest Creative and Performance Leadership Fellowship round.
The Forrest Creative Fellowships aim to attract creative and performing arts practitioners and researchers from around the world to work in Perth, Western Australia. Applicants should be leading their field of research or practice and be motivated to develop and enhance their research skills.
The Creative Fellowships are aimed at those who have completed their undergraduate degree with Honours within the past eight years (2016 or after), or Masters degree within the past five years (2019 or after), or PhD within the past two years (2022 or after).
The Forrest Research Foundation follows the Australian Research Council’s Eligibility and Career Interruptions Statement, which recognises the impact career interruptions have on early and mid-career researchers. Please see the Statement below for further information. If this applies to you, you may submit a supplementary document with your application outlining the details of your career interruption.

The application form is an editable pdf. There is no option to autosave your application on this site; you will need to save the application form in your own files to work on it and upload it when you’re ready to submit your application.
If you are having problems with the pdf application form, you may use the Word document version instead. You will need to save it as a pdf when you’re finished before you can upload it to the application portal.
