A number of Screen Australia's funding programs are open to first time or early-career filmmakers:

• The Wildcard Pitch allows anyone to apply - even if they have no produced credits. Successful applicants can then apply for Story Development funding.
• Several Indigenous initiatives are available for early-career practitioners – they must be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Australians.
