“The producer offset allows film-makers to claim back 40% of their Australian expenditure, whatever the budget, wherever they shoot, as long as they pass a cultural test. International projects can access the offset as long as they are set up as an Australian co-production.”

Officially in place since 01.07.2008, but really only since the launch of Screen Australia.

Screen Australia has an annual budget of AUD100m.

“The offset really only equates to 26% of the budget, as some budget items are not regarded as qualifying Australian production expenditure.”

About the author

Woitek Konzal

Producer, Consultant, Lecturer & Researcher. I love working where technology meets media in novel ways. Once, I even won an Emmy for digital innovation doing that. Be it for a small but exciting campaign about underground electronic music collectives or for a monster project combining two movies, various 360° videos, 72 ARG-like mini puzzles, and a Unity game, all wrapped up in one cross-platform app – I have proven my ability to adapt to what is required. This passion for novel technologies has regularly allowed me to cross paths with tech startups – an industry and philosophy I am all set to engage with more. I intensely enjoy balancing out my practical work with academic research, teaching, and consulting. Also, I have a PhD in Creative Industries, a M.Sc. in Business Administration, and love to kitesurf.
