Government Incentives
Queensland Government Incentives
The Queensland Government is committed to the development of Queensland's screen industry, providing financial and non-financial support to productions filming in Queensland, through its film and television agency, Screen Queensland.
Screen Queensland may financially support productions that demonstrate significant economic benefit to Queensland and provide professional development opportunities for Queensland practitioners.
Support may be available in four forms:
- Location scouting - a grant up to a certain amount based on the anticipated Queensland spend;
- Labour incentive - grants up to a maximum amount based on the anticipated Queensland spend;
- Head of Department incentive – grants up to a certain amount based on the employment of Queensland Heads of Department;
- Queensland State Payroll Tax rebate - rebate up to a certain amount based on the eligible payroll for productions.
There are many benefits to filming your next project in Queensland including ways to significantly reduce below-the-line costs.
Queensland crew rates and other production costs are lower than most international and Australian locations.
The Queensland Government, Screen Queensland and local councils are working to make Queensland an even more attractive production location through streamlining film approval processes and promoting the cultural and economic benefits of film and television production for the state.
