Screen - Island Screen Incentive 2024-25

This program is designed to attract non-Tasmanian screen productions to film in the state. It encourages expenditure in the Tasmanian economy and drives employment and skills development in the Tasmanian industry, whilst highlighting Tasmanian landscapes, built heritage and lifestyle around the country and the world.

The program provides applicants with a simple and secure incentive, with minimal red tape.

Financial support is provided as a grant at the rate of 10% of the expenditure on Tasmanian goods and services while producing the project, capped at AUD$500,000 (excluding GST).

Projects are eligible if they are long-form live action that expend at least AUD$1.5 million in Tasmanian spend, and are substantially based in Tasmania.

Before you apply:

To be eligible to apply, applicants must:

• Read the Island Screen Incentive Guidelines
• Read the General Guidelines and Terms of Trade, and
• Speak to Screen Tasmania's Production Manager, Andrew McPhail, or Industry Officer, Oliver Potter, to discuss their projects before submitting applications. Please email locations@screen.tas.gov.au to arrange an appointment.

When using our online application portal (powered by SmartyGrants) please consider the following points:

• Smarty Grants does not have an auto save function. You must manually save as you go. The system will 'time out' after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity. Please save your progress regularly.
• You can save your incomplete application, log out and return to complete or up date at any time before the Round closes.
• Questions marked with a red asterisk are mandatory. You will not be able to submit your application until they are answered.
• Once you press submit, the application will be locked and forwarded to Screen Tasmania and you will no longer be able to make changes. Should you have new information which was unavailable before the closing of the round you will need to contact the relevant Project Officer to re-open the application at their discretion.
• Smarty Grants is unable to read the information contained in uploaded documents. This is why, at times, you will be asked to provide similar information within the Smarty Grants form. This is so the data can be captured and processed.

Should you have any suggestions to improve the process please contact Screen Tasmania on 03 61655 5070, or info@screen.tas.gov.au
