Microsoft Copilot

by Nate Newell

Hi all I’m doing some systems audit things and wondering if anyone on the team regularly (or at all) uses Microsoft Copilot tools as part of their general workflow? Not looking to start any AI discourse, and no need to reply to this if it doesn’t apply to you, I’ll happily presume you don’t use it if I don’t hear from you, but if you do, let me know. Thanks. Nate Nate Newell (he/him) Operations Manager | PAC Australia | (08) 9221 8992 | paca.org.au<https://paca.org.au/> Boorloo / Perth GMT+8 [Image]<https://apax.org.au/> I gratefully acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation, on whose lands I live and work, and pay my respects to Elders past and present. I’m sending this email at a time convenient to me. I don’t expect you to read, action or reply to it outside of your working hours.

I’ve just received notification that our most recent application to a Creative Australia project funding round was successful! Huge congratulations and kudos to Rosie who led this. The funding is an updated version of the Tour Producer Training x APAX support project which ran in 2024/25 – so excellent news to be able to support more producers to do the TPT and access APAX in 2026 and 2027, and also offset some costs for delivery for us. For those that will find it helpful, the application outlining the project is attached, however I would also suggest setting some time for those this will involve, to talk through the who, how (and how much!) etc, as it’s not a straight-forward repeat of the 24/25 deliverables. And for those who have recently been drowning in acquittals… at least it’s 2+ years before we have to acquit this one! Congrats again Rosie, and really looking forward to seeing what this will deliver.
