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.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY
Screen Queensland is committed to building a diverse and respectful Queensland screen industry.
We seek to support the creation and growth of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander screen content, practitioners and representation across our industry and state. Additionally, we are committed to ensuring diverse representation across all aspects of the production and development process, including those who identify as female, LGBTQIA+, culturally and linguistically diverse, located regionally, living with disability or of lower socio-economic status.
We also strongly encourage individuals from these under-represented backgrounds to engage with us formally through our programs or informally through our events and networking opportunities.
We are a proud member of the Screen Diversity and Inclusion Network (SDIN). As such, we use The Everyone Project to benchmark and track the diversity of the Australian screen industry. Additionally, we have taken the The Panel Pledge to give rise to the visibility of female success through increased representation of women at panels, Q&As, conferences, events and more.
Screen Queensland acknowledges Aboriginal Peoples and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as Traditional Custodians of this country and recognises their connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to their Elders, past and present. At Screen Queensland we are committed to empowering and safeguarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to share their rich culture, stories and perspectives with the Queensland and global community through screen storytelling. Always was, always will be.
