Screen Australia has recently updated its Credit Policy, which outlines the agency’s credit requirements.
As a Federal Government agency, Screen Australia invests in Australian screen stories and talent on behalf of Australian taxpayers. It is important to acknowledge government funding to ensure the agency is being transparent about how public money is being invested.
The updated Credit Policy applies to all Screen Australia grant and production investment agreements with effect from 16 May 2024, and is a companion to contractual obligations to funding recipients.
Substantive changes made in May 2024:
- Clarifying the expectations of the First Nations Department with respect to the position of the First Nations Department static card during the end credits for Television and Online.
- Increasing the time period required for any subsequent media releases to be submitted to the Screen Australia Communications Department for approval from 1 business day to 2 business days.
- Adding the section titled ‘Credits for Games’.
