New cut off time to lodge invoices / financials.

by Lynda de Koning

Hi everyone, New cut off for lodging invoices for payment is 12noon AEST Tuesday of payroll week (no longer end of day). We've had to adjust our bookkeeper working hours and the financial work flow a little for a few different reasons, thank you for your understanding. And while we're discussing it, the general instructions again: * When saving ANY financial records in sharepoint monthly folders, put them in the month that matches when you’re uploading them, NOT the date of the invoice etc. For example, if the invoice is dated 27 Aug but you’re uploading on 2 Sept, save it in September. * File Name format (slight adjustment): JOB CODE - ACCOUNT # - Invoice # and Company Name. * Use the Company Name that matches the ABN on the invoice, not the artist/individuals name that only means something to you. * This really helps us in the finance workflow and for record keeping. * Invoice details – please check the following before uploading and if missing, go back to the person and ask for revision (you’re welcome to check with me if needed). * “INVOICE” = Not registered for GST * “TAX INVOICE” = registered for GST, and should include GST $ details or statement like “This invoice includes 10% GST” * ABN – all invoices / tax invoices should have an ABN on them unless international. (There are some exceptions, but in general, go back and ask them as often it’s just been missed I’ve also added a document in the Teams Finance folder with the file name convention on it so it’s an easy reference. Many thanks, Lynda Lynda de Koning (she/her) General Manager | PAC Australia | +61 (0) 438 860 020 | paca.org.au<https://paca.org.au/> Peramangk / South Australia GMT +9.5 [X]<http://www.apax.org.au> I gratefully acknowledge the Peramangk people, on whose lands I live and work, and recognise their continuing connection to Country.

I first encountered her in 1996, preparing to head out on a tour of The 7 Stages of Grieving in Tasmania. That show taught me so much about theatre, storytelling and truth-telling. As you’ll hear from Wesley, I — along with hundreds of other Tasmanians — wouldn’t have had that extraordinary experience if it weren’t for Wendy Blacklock. You could multiply that example many times over. Across a producing career spanning more than three decades, Wendy had an extraordinary instinct for finding artists at just the right moment — and then backing them, properly. Not just with belief, but with the practical support needed to get work made, toured and seen. She championed risk-takers, made space for new voices, and was never especially interested in how things had always been done. The result is a body of work, and a generation of artists and producers, that have profoundly shaped where we are now. One of the first calls I received when I started at Performing Lines was from Wendy, checking in to see how things were going — still keeping an eye on things. Another early conversation was with former CEO Fenn Gordon, when we talked about an archival project underway and how best to capture Wendy’s legacy alongside it. In time, The Wendy Tapes were born. We owe a huge thanks to Kate Champion, Wesley Enoch, Annette Downs and Ian Temby — none of whom hesitated when asked to take on the not-insignificant task of interviewing Wendy. Thanks also to Karen Rodgers and Kate Blackmore, whose professionalism and care brought this series to life. Four generous, funny and deeply human interviews tracing the roots of this organisation, and the vision and tenacity of the inimitable Wendy Blacklock. They’re a celebration, yes — but also a kind of field guide to producing: to backing artists, holding the line, and doing the work (often quietly) that makes everything else possible. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as we did making them.

Working Groups - lets go!

by Lynda de Koning

Hi everyone, Thanks to those who sent feedback, questions or requested groups regarding the proposed Terms of Reference for the Working Groups and to everyone else who I'm sure has at least read them! We have now finalised the TOR, and they are saved in a new 'Working Group' folder in Sharepoint: CORE [https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/assets/fluentui-resources/1.1.0/app-min/assets/item-types/24_1.5x/folder.png]Working Groups (Staff)<https://apacaperth.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/PACAustraliaCore/IgCdjBVRQzjGSqSQfB…> Terms of Reference finalised: [https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/assets/fluentui-resources/1.1.0/app-min/assets/item-types/24_1.5x/pdf.png]Terms of Reference - Working Groups - 2026.pdf<https://apacaperth.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/PACAustraliaCore/IQAQPNBBzndGQ5h3UC…> These will be reviewed as needed. Staff assignment - Katherine and I have determined the following staff assignment after the consultation (in no particular order): Environmental Sustainability: Rosie, Edwina, Sam Membership and Development: Rosie, Claire, Lynda, Cecile DEI&A: Cecile, Virginia, Nate Procedure Development: Claire, Lynda, Sam, Nate Next steps / timeline: 1. Establish group communications (maybe a Teams chat group?) 2. Appoint a group convenor. This role will coordinate the meeting schedule and report on the activity, and can be rotated on an as-needs basis. It can be any staff member, it's not linked to your position. 3. Schedule your first meeting and let Katherine and Lynda know when. We'll then send through some prompts to help get the groups on their way. Let's have the working groups established with convenor and first meeting scheduled by the end of May please. Team Meetings / Water Cooler: We get it - we need time to do our work and not just be in meetings! From 1 June we'll shift the Team and Water Cooler meetings to fortnightly ongoing to create some more space in our diaries. @Samantha Hortin<mailto:samantha@paca.org.au> can you please adjust: * Wednesday Team mtgs: FN from Wed 3 June, duration 90 minutes (aiming to finish early where possible) * Watercooler: Cancel 2 June, then FN from 9 June please for 30 min If we haven't answered any questions raised we can address them within the groups as needed. I guess as the GM this is always going to sound trite- but looking forward to getting these groups running and empowering staff to have more influence and be able to progress things that may just have been bubbling away in the background in a meaningful way 🙂 Thanking you in advance, Lynda (and Katherine!)
