Guidelines - Summary

The Industry Development program develops the skills of Tasmanian screen practitioners, recognising that highly-skilled professionals are vital for the long-term growth of the screen industry in Tasmania. It provides support for experienced practitioners to attend interstate and international markets and events, and also provides for both structured and ad-hoc inbound training, business travel and limited support of events with significant professional development aspects.

The 'screen industry' includes game and interactive media developers.

Please Note: There may be periodic COVID restrictions in place in Australia and internationally, and they may come into effect without warning. If you apply to Screen Tasmania and are funded for any travel, Screen Tasmania will not be liable for any charges for quarantine or medical costs incurred during the supported travel. Prospective applicants should take this into consideration before applying, and as always, please contact Screen Tasmania before submitting your application.

SUMMARY

Market support typically benefits producers and game developers looking to take a slate of 3+ projects to markets either nationally or internationally. Exceptions may be made if one market-ready project has been invited to either competitive program or invitation-only program. Please contact the Industry Development Manager to discuss eligibility.

  • Funding is available to eligible applicants for up to 50 per cent of airfares, accommodation, and entry fees.
  • Per diems of up to $60 per day for interstate travel, and $100 per day when travelling internationally can be included.
  • Receipts proving travel and attendance will be required at the time of acquittal.
  • For Business travel to attend interstate and international market events, market meetings or festival/awards ceremonies with a significant market component. Annual (financial year) international and domestic caps of $6 000 and $2 000 respectively, apply to both individuals or organisations. A company may apply for up to $10 000 for all types of business travel per financial year, but the caps of $6 000 international and $2 000 domestic still apply to each person travelling for that company.

Sole traders (with ABNs) and companies may apply for support to attend business meetings, conferences and other events which will enhance their prospects of securing investment and strengthening industry networks.

For international travel applicants need to have at least 3 market-ready projects and confirmed meetings with distributors, prospective co-production partners or financiers and be experienced enough to be able to gain meetings with companies who can advance projects.

We reserve the right to vary these Guidelines as necessary. In exceptional circumstances, we also reserve the right to set aside some or all of the requirements.
