What does 'significant Australian content' (SAC) mean?

A project must have cultural benefits for Australia to attract such a high level of Australian Government support. Therefore, Screen Australia must be satisfied that the project has 'significant Australian content' for it to qualify for the Offset. In considering this issue, Screen Australia must have regard to the following:

  • the subject matter
  • the place where the film or program was made
  • the nationalities and places of residence of the people who took part in making it
  • the details of production expenditure incurred, and
  • any other matters that Screen Australia considers to be relevant.

An official co-production automatically meets the 'significant Australian content' test. See Australia?s international co-production program.
