What we do

We support the creation and promotion of Australian screen projects across feature films, television, online/direct-to-audience content and games. We also administer the Official Co-production Program and the Producer Offset on behalf of Government.

Our role is to drive industry growth by providing valuable resources, market intelligence, direct funding and targeted initiatives to ensure Australian content thrives and connects with audiences.

What we don’t do

Screen Australia does not:

• Fund content which is not documentary or narrative (also known in the industry as ‘drama’).
• Fund non-Australian companies. Foreign creators from partner countries can be attached to Official Co-productions.
• Produce titles in-house.
• Provide PR or marketing services for individual titles.
• Accept unsolicited scripts or ‘pre-assess’ applications before they are submitted.
• Authorise the exhibition/broadcast of content.
• Disclose who has benefited from the Producer Offset, as this is governed by tax secrecy laws.
• Administer the Location or PDV Offsets. (These are handled by the Department of Communications and the Arts).
• Supply contact information for creators. The Screen Guide directory makes it easy to find who has produced most Australian drama and documentary titles.
