Screen NSW’s Made in NSW Program is a five-year funding program to support the advancement of NSW as a production destination for feature films and major television drama programs.

The level of any financial assistance offered for this program is discretionary and determined on a case-by-case basis from limited funds.

What projects are eligible?

• Feature films, telemovies, animation, mini-series and TV series
• International/Australian co-productions
• Fully internationally financed feature films and television projects from local production companies

Note: Eligible projects must be genuinely 'footloose', meaning not already locked into production in NSW.

Please contact the Senior Manager, Screen Production Attraction, Mark Lazarus to discuss your application prior to submission.

Qualifying NSW Production Expenditure (QNSWPE) includes:

• Payroll subject to NSW Payroll Tax excluding payroll to non-NSW residents
• NSW workers' compensation payments
• Payments to a supplier of goods and services whose principal place of business is in NSW. Suppliers include independent contractors who are not subject to NSW Payroll Tax
• Payments to a supplier of goods and services which, although its principal place of business is outside NSW, has an office or branch in NSW which is supplying the goods or services, including fees and charges relating to the use of land within NSW
• Fees and charges relating to the use of land within New South Wales
• Inbound international or interstate travel to a NSW destination. Where a return fare is purchased fifty per cent (50%) of the fare qualifies as QNSWPE. The two-week rule for non cast members that is applied to the guidelines applies. That is the person must spend no less than two consecutive calendar weeks in NSW following arrival
• Inbound freight to a NSW destination
• Fringe Benefits Tax relating to benefits provided in NSW
• NSW Payroll Tax

But excludes:

• Goods or services which are sourced from outside NSW from a non-NSW supplier, even though they are used in the production of the project in NSW
