The Strategic Opportunities program supports a small number of initiatives that are aimed at providing skills development and training for the screen industry. Initiatives should be responsive to industry needs, designed to assist in the growth of a sustainable, diverse and inclusive film, television and games sector. This is a big-picture funding program that supports initiatives that will offer immediate, medium, and long-term benefits to the industry.

Proposed activities must have strong strategic alignment with Screen Australia’s key objectives, challenges and focus areas for industry development.

Due to the limited nature of Industry Development funding, applicants are required to discuss the scope and details of their proposal for their strategic opportunity initiative and confirm funding availability with either the Head of Industry Development or the Industry Development Manager. Contact the Program Operations team if you are unsure of who to speak with on 1800 507 901 or industrydevelopment@screenaustralia.gov.au.
