We seek to support the creation and growth of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander screen practitioners, content and representation across our industry and state.  Additionally, we are committed to ensuring diverse representation across all aspects of the production and development process. As such, diversity in areas of gender, age, culture, ethnicity, language, ability, sexuality, location (such as regional and remote areas) and socio-economic status are encouraged in projects we support.

We encourage prospective applicants to reach out to our First Nations team prior to submission.

Market program applications must be received at least six weeks prior to your departure date but can be submitted at any time of year.

You can preview the application form on Smartygrants.
