PACA
Protection of Australasian Cultural Assets
The Protection of Australasian Cultural Assets (PACA) network acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and recognises their enduring connection to land, waters, culture, heritage and community. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and to Elders past, present and emerging.
Preserving our national heritage
Australasia’s cultural assets are a vital part of our shared identity, connecting communities to their history, creativity, and traditions. From artworks, artefacts, and archival collections to culturally significant places and stories, these treasures provide invaluable insights into who we are and where we have come from.
Protecting and preserving cultural heritage goes beyond safeguarding objects. Through effective security, resilient infrastructure, and proactive risk management, we protect cultural collections, heritage places, and significant artefacts from physical, environmental, and operational threats, ensuring they remain accessible and valued for future generations.
By investing in the protection of cultural heritage today, we ensure that the stories, knowledge, and achievements of Australasian communities remain accessible for generations to come, strengthening our collective understanding of the past and enriching our future.
Join PACA
Membership of the Protection of Australasian Cultural Assets (PACA) Forum is free and provides institutions with access to a unique network of professionals dedicated to the protection, security, resilience, and stewardship of cultural assets across Australasia and the Asia-Pacific region. Through annual forums, knowledge sharing, and professional collaboration, members exchange leading practices and insights in security, risk management, emergency and disaster management, safety, and facilities management. By participating in PACA, institutions contribute to a collective effort to strengthen capability, enhance organisational resilience, and advance the protection of our shared cultural heritage for current and future generations.
