Acknowledgement of Country
Screen Queensland acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Traditional Custodians of Australia. We recognise their 65,000 years of custodianship that pre-dates colonisation. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and recognise the cultural and historic connection to land, sea, cosmos (the inclusion of the constellations that are part of a Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander spiritual and environmental narrative) and community. Screen Queensland is committed to elevating the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to continue to share their rich cultures and perspectives with the Queensland and global community through screen storytelling. Screen Queensland understands the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and practitioners to be leaders in their own narratives to promote inclusion, collaboration and authenticity. Always was, always will be.
QPE Definition
Queensland Production Expenditure (QPE) refers to the direct economic impact that productions have while filming in Queensland. QPE targets are set for all major projects that receive investment from Screen Queensland through a range of programs. Successful achievement of these targets is essential and for this reason our official QPE Guidelines are available for download below or contact us for more information.
For projects contracted prior to 1 July 2019, the QPE definition shall be as set out in the contract or if a previous link is referenced in the contract please contact us for a copy of the previous QPE definition.
