The organisation aims to assist, promote, and strengthen the NSW screen sector by delivering funding and support programs that attract investment, innovation, and employment opportunities to the state.
Screen NSW offers a slate of competitive incentives to attract international footloose productions, post-production, and digital games to the state.
Screen NSW also provides location and production liaison services, including facilitating international inbounds to NSW. Financial support for location scouts and inbounds may be available through the Location Scouts and Inbound Program.
Local filmmakers and Official Treaty Co-productions can apply for early development, advanced development, or production finance support for projects ready to go into production. Regional Filming Fund grants are available to support local productions that film on location in regional NSW for a minimum of five shooting days.
