Screen SKILLS


Program changes 2011/12

Demand for our Production Investment support has significantly increased over the past 12 months. This is great news for the industry, because it means local film and TV production is thriving, but this increased demand also places pressure on our overall funding.

To help us meet this demand and ensure production activity continues in Victoria we’ve reprioritised some of our Screen Skills program funding to Production. Therefore, the following strands will not be offered in 2011/12:

  • Production Internships
  • Company Internships (Film and TV)

If you already have an internship agreement in place with us, you will not be affected.

Companies who wish to engage an intern can certainly do so using their own resources and while we’re unable to help financially, we may be able to assist with call-outs for potential applicants via eNews. For more information contact us on 03.9660.3200

Operational programs strands in 2011/12

COMPANY INTERNSHIP (DIGITAL MEDIA)

  • Funding for companies with a substantial track record in digital media, to engage an intern for a significant professional development opportunity with the possibility of ongoing employment
  • We’ll provide 50% of salary pro-rata (rate of pay to be determined by the host company as per applicable award rates or certified workplace agreement)
  • Provision of $4,000 for the digital media host company towards hardware and software purchases, and/or licenses if required.
