Our Indigenous programs support creatively ambitious projects and people, and imaginative, resonant stories authored by Indigenous Australians.

To be eligible for assistance from Screen Australia’s Indigenous Department:

• a sole applicant must be an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Australian
• projects must have Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Australians in key creative roles – at least as writer and director, and in the case of writing teams the lead writer must be Indigenous
• applicants and their projects must meet:
  – the general eligibility requirements set out in Screen Australia’s Terms of Trade, and
  – the eligibility requirements of the particular program.

Funding is not intended for projects by non-Indigenous filmmakers with Indigenous content.

Indigenous filmmakers may apply to any Screen Australia program in addition to the funding programs of the Indigenous Department.
