Producer Offset

Location Incentive
Due to the increase to the Location Offset rebate rate announced in the 2023–34 Budget, the Location Incentive will stop accepting applications from 30 June 2023.
The objective of the Location Incentive is to ensure that Australia remains competitive in attracting large budget footloose international film and television productions, providing opportunities for Australian cast, crew, post-production companies and other screen production service providers to participate in production. It will contribute to the development of the Australian screen production industry's capabilities and help ensure its future viability.
The Location Incentive focuses on extending the pipeline of production coming to Australia creating new job and training opportunities for Australians. Grants are provided to large budget international screen productions undertaking filming in Australia that perform strongly against the assessment criteria.
