Terms of trade

Screen Australia's Terms of Trade provide guidance on how the agency will transact its business. They supplement the guidelines applying to particular programs and are reflected in Screen Australia’s contracts.

The current Terms of Trade were released on 12 February 2009 after a period of industry consultation in late 2008. Comments received were invaluable in clarifying a range of issues and helped ensure the document clearly articulates Screen Australia's intentions.

Updates are made from time to time, with changes logged within the document itself.
