Partners working together on official co-productions can take advantage of each other's support systems. A film is eligible to apply for investment from Screen Australia, for example, and official co-productions don't have to pass the 'significant Australian content' test for eligibility for the Producer Offset.

 

READ THE GUIDELINES

 

We recommend that Australian producers read the application and assessment process and seek the advice of Screen Australia staff before making a formal application.
