Screen Australia (Melbourne Office)

The federal government's screen funding agency, with a Coventry Street office handling development, production and Producer Offset support for the film and TV industry.

Screen Australia is the Australian Government's screen funding body, supporting the development, production and promotion of local film, television and online content. Alongside its Sydney head office, the agency runs a Melbourne office on Coventry Street in South Melbourne, on Wurundjeri Country. It administers funding programs, the Producer Offset and the Official Co-production Program for the screen industry, rather than operating as a public-facing venue.

Screen Australia is the Federal Government agency responsible for supporting the development, production, promotion and distribution of Australian screen content across film, television, online and games. It was formed through the merger of the Australian Film Commission, Film Finance Corporation Australia and Film Australia in 2008, and today operates from two offices, a head office on Gadigal Country in Ultimo, Sydney, and a second office on Wurundjeri Country at 290 Coventry Street, South Melbourne. The agency's work centres on funding programs for screen practitioners, from early-stage development finance through to production investment, and it administers the Producer Offset tax rebate and the Official Co-production Program on behalf of the Australian Government. It also publishes industry research and data through its Insights and Trends and Screen Guide resources, tracking production activity, audience trends and the health of the sector. Screen Australia is not a venue for public visits; it is an industry and funding body, so most contact happens through its enquiry form, funding portal or by phone. Applicants and industry professionals dealing with funding, co-productions or the Producer Offset can reach the South Melbourne office directly, while general enquiries are directed through the website's contact form. The agency is governed by a board and led by a Chief Executive Officer, with an executive leadership team overseeing strategy, finance, legal affairs and First Nations content initiatives.
