Documentary Production
Program guidelines

Funding Program

Overview

The aims of the documentary production funding programs are to support: 

• Australian documentary content for production and release for Direct-to-Audience, Television and Feature Film platforms; 
• distinctive storytelling for a range of budgets and audiences across local and global platforms; and
• content makers at different career stages who reflect the breadth of Australia in service of cultural, creative and economic benefits.

There are three (3) different documentary production funding programs that applicants can apply for. They will each have four (4) application rounds per financial year.

direct-to-audience 

• Direct-to-Audience projects are those that have not been commissioned by any third party and for which the first and primary release window is Direct-to-Audience e.g. YouTube, Facebook, Virtual Reality (VR), Extended Reality (XR) or Augmented Reality (AR) platforms.
• The content creators are in control of self-distributing the work and taking it to audience.
• The Documentary Direct-to-Audience Program replaces the Online Production Program.

platform first

• The Platform First Program supports content makers to produce features , series or single documentaries that have a confirmed Commissioning Platform i.e. market attachment for Free-To-Air (FTA) television broadcast and streaming platforms across Broadcast Video on Demand (BVOD), Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) and Advertising Video on Demand (AVOD).
• The program supports projects that are at least a commercial half-hour in duration, with a minimum budget of $250,000 per hour.
• All finance must be confirmed at the time of application.
• Screen Australia is generally the last contributor to the Finance Plan.
• Minimum licence fees apply.
• The Platform First Program replaces the Documentary Commissioned Program.

producer first

• The Producer First Program supports content makers to produce features, series and single documentaries for theatrical, free-to-air television broadcast (FTA), streaming platforms across Broadcast Video on Demand (BVOD), Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) and Advertising Video on Demand (AVOD).

• For projects in partnership with cultural institution's i.e.: museums, galleries and with a demonstrated pathway to audiences, applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

• The Producer First Program provides content makers the flexibility to drive projects creatively and commercially. Screen Australia’s funding acts as the foundation for securing deals and partnerships, in the context of today’s evolving media and distribution landscape as well as the commercial realities of increasingly fragmented sources of finance.

• Minimum licence fees apply - Marketplace contributors need to be secured prior to contract execution but not at the time of applying for Screen Australia funding.

• The Producer First Program replaces the Documentary Producer Program.

available funding

• The amount of funding provided will depend on the scale of your project, the first and primary platform and the amount of additional finance required or secured from other sources. 

• Screen Australia may decide to provide funding at a different level than that applied for based on the assessment of all projects submitted to each funding round.  

• Other sources of finance are encouraged and the assessment process will take into account the percentage of funding requested from Screen Australia as a proportion of the overall budget. Other contributions may come from marketplace entities, as well as from state/territory agencies, other government organisations, cultural institutions, international sources, private investors, philanthropy or other partners.

• For Official Co-Productions, the percentage caps set out below apply only to the Australian components and proportion of the budget. That is, if the Australian financial contribution to the Official Co-Production is 30% of the production budget, then the cap on funding from Screen Australia (including the Producer Offset, if applicable) is X% of that 30% Australian portion.

direct-to-audience production

• Screen Australia’s maximum contribution per project is generally up to 80% of the total project budget.

• Funding may cover all elements of the project through to release, including post-production funding.

• Applications for post-production funding only are generally expected to be for lower amounts.

• Applications solely for marketing funds are not eligible.

platform first production

• Screen Australia’s maximum contribution per project is $500,000 (inclusive of any previous Screen Australia development funding).

• Funding will be provided by way of a grant.

• However, there may be exceptional projects for which Screen Australia may consider funding for an amount greater than $500,000. Support for these projects would be provided as a recoupable equity investment.

• Support from Screen Australia should account for no more than:

• 35% of the budget for projects with a budget of $500,000 or less; or

• 65% of the budget (including the Producer Offset) for projects with a production budget of more than $500,000.

producer first production

• Screen Australia’s maximum contribution per project is $500,000 (inclusive of any previous Screen Australia development funding).

• Funding will be provided by way of a grant.

• There may be exceptional projects for which Screen Australia may consider funding for an amount greater than $500,000. Support for these projects would be provided as a recoupable equity investment.

• Screen Australia can be the first confirmed financial contributor in the finance plan. Other finance, including marketplace, does not have to be confirmed at the time of application. However, if an applicant has Letters of Interest (LOI) from other funders, they should provide details in their application.

• Support from Screen Australia should account for no more than:

• 35% of the budget for projects with a budget of $500,000 or less; or
• 65% of the budget (including the Producer Offset) for projects with a production budget of more than $500,000.

inclusive storytelling

For Australian screen content to deliver cultural and economic benefits it must speak to, and be for, all Australians. A range of ideas and a diverse workforce will enhance the Australian screen industry, making it more relevant to Australian audiences and more competitive internationally. 

Screen Australia is committed to building equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility into its programs and into our engagement with the community.  

Screen Australia encourages applications from applicants from all backgrounds, cultures and experiences. In particular, the agency welcomes applications from under-represented groups. 

Screen Australia strives to make its funding programs accessible by removing barriers for people who are d/Deaf, disabled and/or those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. 

eligibility

• Applicants and projects must meet Screen Australia’s Terms of Trade, any general eligibility or other requirements listed on the agency’s website (see Information for Applicants and Information for Recipients), as well as the specific eligibility criteria set out in these guidelines. 

• Specific requirements apply to projects which involve First Nations participation or content.  

• Specific requirements may apply to projects which involve community participation or content with the following communities: d/Deaf, disabled, culturally and linguistically diverse, LGBTQIA+, or those from other under-represented groups.

first nations content or participation

Where there is First Nations community participation or content involved in the project applicants should provide: 

• a statement setting out how they are approaching the First Nations content or participation with regard to appropriate protocols. Applicants must demonstrate that they have a consultation plan covering the full production process and are following it. The statement should be based on the checklists available in Screen Australia’s guide Pathways & Protocols: a film maker’s guide to working with Indigenous people, culture and concepts;

producer offset

The Producer Offset is administered separately by the Producer Offset and Co-Production Unit (POCU) within Screen Australia.  

If the project is eligible to apply for the Producer Offset, note that not all project costs approved are automatically Qualifying Australian Production Expenditure (QAPE). Development funding received may not be eligible for QAPE.   

Applicants do not need to have lodged an application for a Producer Offset Provisional Certificate at the time of applying for production funding. In most cases applicants will be able to wait to see whether or not their project has been successful for Screen Australia funding before applying for a certificate, saving time and application fees.

However, if an applicant is approved for funding, they will need to lodge an application and receive certification prior to contract execution.

We strongly recommend that all applicants for production funding familiarise themselves with the Producer Offset FAQs and the Producer Offset Guidelines 2024.

Applicants can contact POCU on [email protected] for further information.

official co-productions

Projects approved as Official Co-Productions are eligible for, but not automatically guaranteed, direct Screen Australia support. 

For Official Co-Production projects, applicants need to provide evidence that an application for provisional approval as an Official Co-Production has been lodged. There are no costs associated with making such application for Provisional Approval with the Producer Offset and Co-Production Unit (POCU). 

assessment

process

• range of applicants in receipt of development funding from Screen Australia inclusive of applicant, company and geographic diversity
• Extent to which a project is likely to effectively amplify equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility. 

Preference will be given to:

• projects that, at the time of application, are no further than six (6) months from the start of pre-production.
