The Centre for Stories is an example of a Western Australian arts organisation that is leading the way in terms of diversity and inclusion. Established in 2015 by John and Caroline Wood, the Centre for Stories curates high-quality stories that inspire thought and encourage empathy and tolerance. Storytelling is used as a vehicle to inspire social cohesion and improve understanding of diverse communities.

They seek to empower those whose perspectives and experiences are often sidelined or silenced, including refugees, migrants, people of colour, sexual minorities, the elderly, and people with disabilities. They champion excellent craft, unique perspectives and artistic value and are committed to developing storytelling for long-term community benefits.
