  3. Industry Survey 2025 – A Message from Screen Australia CEO Deirdre Brennan

Industry Survey 2025 – A Message from Screen Australia CEO Deirdre Brennan

20 March 2025

‘Hopeful’. When asked in our recent sector survey what word most describes how you feel about the local screen industry, this was the number one response.

The second? ‘Concerned’. In these contrasting words, you’ve captured the spirit of a creative industry navigating unprecedented change, but also reflecting a resilience that looks well beyond the short-term challenges.

The extensive results have given us an invaluable baseline for our performance and will feed into a new Screen Australia strategy to support the industry as we move towards this future together. Over the last year, I’ve been listening to your thoughts and ideas. We are evolving as a result. There’ll be more to come in the months ahead about how we build on the ‘hopeful’ expectation.

For now, a sincere thank you to all who participated and the industry partners who helped us reach so many of you.

Further insights are available here.
