Official and unoffical co-productions

Official co-productions

Australia has co-production treaties with the governments of Canada, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the UK and most recently Singapore and China. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with France and New Zealand is also in place.

A film or television program approved as an official co-production is regarded as a national production of each of the co-producing countries and may therefore apply for investment from both us and Screen Australia.

Read more about our incentives.

Unofficial co-productions

While official co-productions automatically qualify for funding and incentives, unofficial co-productions or production partnerships may be able to access the same incentives if they demonstrate significant Australian content.

Screen Australia considers the following when assessing Significant Australian Content:

• The subject matter,
• The place where the production 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. 

To find out how a joint venture could mean access to a wide range of financial incentives, or if you would like us to facilitate a creative partnership with our internationally recognised local talent, please email us.
