Partnerships

MoAD's Accommodation Partnership with Hotel Kurrajong Canberra unites two Canberra landmarks designed by Australia's first Commonwealth Government Architect, John Smith Murdoch. Highlighting the capital's rich social and political heritage, the partnership also marks Hotel Kurrajong Canberra's centenary in 2026 – celebrating the enduring connection both places share in our democracy.

Chifley's Tour brings this history to life, offering a unique way to explore the legacy of former prime minister Ben Chifley. Frequently hosted at Hotel Kurrajong Canberra throughout his parliamentary career, Chifley notably commuted each day between the hotel and Old Parliament House. Today, visitors can follow his route on a self‑guided walking trail and deepen their experience by joining our guided tour at the Museum.

MoAD's Legal Partnership with Hazelbrook Legal has grown significantly over the past three years, becoming an essential source of support for the Museum's work. Grounded in a shared commitment to collaboration, civic engagement and positive community impact, the partnership strengthens MoAD's capacity to advance its mission with confidence and integrity.

Hazelbrook Legal's pro‑bono expertise provides trusted guidance across key legal areas, enabling MoAD to focus on delivering meaningful public programs and preserving the story of Australia's democracy for future generations.

MoAD's media partnership with The Guardian Australia reflects a shared commitment to independent journalism as a cornerstone of a healthy democracy. Through this collaboration, The Guardian Australia helps showcase MoAD's exhibitions, programs, and initiatives to audiences nationwide, extending our reach and supporting informed public conversations about democracy, culture, and contemporary issues across Australia.
