General Requirements

Through the Online Production program, Screen Australia invests in the production of scripted, children’s and documentary projects that take risks and push the envelope of storytelling in the online space.

This fund is aimed at lower-budget productions which may present talent development or project development opportunities. Online production values these benefits ahead of commercial gain, so it is expected that above-the-line fees and company overheads are budgeted modestly in accordance with those aims.

In most cases this fund applies to projects releasing on social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and TikTok, as well as Virtual Reality (and other Extended Reality) projects. Screen Australia recognises this part of the industry is fast-changing, so other release platforms may be eligible.

Before you begin:

  • Applicants must provide accurate information to Screen Australia at all times. A person or company that makes a false or misleading statement to Screen Australia in an application may face criminal or civil liability including liability for an offence under the Criminal Code Act 1995. In addition, if funding awarded by Screen Australia was obtained by fraud or serious misrepresentation, Screen Australia can revoke its funding. 
  • It is important that you read our Terms of Trade, the Online Production Guidelines, and the Online Production FAQs to ensure your project is eligible for Screen Australia Funding and to help you deliver the strongest application possible.
  • For help completing this application, refer to the Help Guide for Applicants or Applicant Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
  • For queries about the guidelines, deadlines, or questions in the form, please contact us on 1800 507 901 during business hours or email online@screenaustralia.gov.au and quote your application number
