Museums & Galleries of NSW

Museums & Galleries of NSW supports museums, galleries and Aboriginal cultural centres in metropolitan and regional NSW.

Museums & Galleries of NSW helps small-medium museums, galleries and Aboriginal cultural centres create exciting experiences for visitors and, through this, thriving local NSW communities.

We develop their skills, connect them with others in the industry, provide funding, point visitors their way, and give them ac

cess to ground-breaking exhibitions. Museums & Galleries of NSW is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

Burnout is more than feeling tired. In this workshop, participants take a burnout self-check and learn to recognise the emotional, physical, and behavioural signs early.

We explore the areas of life that require maintenance to prevent overload, and introduce a simple approach to meaningful, sustainable self-care that is actually doable.

The session includes a reflective Scrappy Self Care exercise and resource recommendations to support continued recovery and resilience.
