The Screen Queensland Attachment program facilitates paid, project-based attachments that provide essential on-the-job experience on Screen Queensland-supported films and series.
Queensland is proudly home to a diverse base of highly skilled screen creatives and crew. To sustain and build the next generation of talent for our local screen industry, Screen Queensland supports emerging screen practitioners to develop their practical skills, careers and professional networks through our Attachment program. The program is focused on areas of industry skills demand and helps to build and maintain a skilled, professional Queensland screen industry workforce.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Through Screen Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy and Screen Finance Fund, early career screen practitioners are supported to undertake a paid placement to gain valuable hands-on experience alongside experienced practitioners on eligible productions for approximately 5 to 12 weeks.
Prospective attachments can apply to the Screen Queensland Attachment Talent Pool with applications carefully reviewed and considered for upcoming attachment opportunities. Short-listed applicants will be contacted directly by Screen Queensland.
The Attachment Talent Pool is open for applications year-round, with opportunities dependent on the number of eligible productions filming in the state at any one time.
Applicants will be contacted by Screen Queensland at the end of each 12-month period to update their application, ensuring we have the most current information and resume for the applicant on file.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Applicants who:
- are committed to a career in the screen industry
- seek an opportunity to build on their existing credits, skills and knowledge
- wish to be included in Screen Queensland’s Talent Pool.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Applications to this program are for inclusion in Screen Queensland’s Talent Pool.
Applicants must:
- be a Bona Fide Queenslander (view our Terms of Trade for eligibility requirements)
- have satisfied one or more of these requirements:
- have graduated from a relevant tertiary, TAFE or Vocational Education course
- have production credits on at least 30 minutes of screen content, or
- have transferable skills/significant related experience in other parallel industries that qualify the applicant for the specific role (such as electrician, carpenter, hair and makeup).
You are not eligible to apply if:
- you are enrolled full-time in a film, television or interactive digital media course at a film school or other tertiary educational institution (applications from part-time students will be assessed on a case-by-case basis)
- you have already been an attachment in the past 12 months.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU APPLY?
After you submit your application, it will be assessed by Screen Queensland’s Attachment Coordinator with eligible applications added into the Attachment Talent Pool.
Acceptance into the Talent Pool is highly competitive, and doesn’t guarantee selection for a production attachment position.
For each production attachment opportunity, Screen Queensland will provide the production company with a shortlist of suitable practitioners from the Screen Queensland Talent Pool, based on:
- the skills required by the production and how these match the practitioner’s experience and skills,
- how the skills expected to be gained from the placement align with the practitioner’s career objectives,
- Screen Queensland’s overall objectives of diversity and inclusion,
- whether the practitioner has already been an attachment and has undertaken a similar placement and
- the practitioner’s credits.
Production companies may wish to interview shortlisted practitioners prior to selecting a practitioner and offering an attachment position.
While Screen Queensland will complete an initial assessment of the application and submit applications for consideration, final selection decisions are made by the relevant production.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE SELECTED FOR AN ATTACHMENT?
Attachments typically run for a minimum of 5 weeks, across pre-production, production and/or post-production, depending on the duration and structure of the attachment.
Practitioners will be attached to a supervisor in a particular role and will spend time observing and assisting the relevant department.
Practitioners are employed by the production company for the attachment and are compensated at a minimum of Level 1 MEAA rates.
The terms and conditions of engaging an attachment, including deliverables and any credit requirements are detailed in the relevant Screen Finance or Incentive funding agreement between Screen Queensland and the host company.
