S.P.A. Producer Accreditation

Screen Producers Australia announced today the launch of its S.P.A. Producer Accreditation Scheme, which recognises the critical contribution that producers make in delivering great screen content. The Scheme coincides with the introduction of a new strand of professional development courses aimed at early career and emerging producers which will sit alongside Screen Producers Australia's existing Ones To Watch mentoring program and its Master Class and Business Class series that bring together more experienced industry leaders.

The S.P.A. Producer Accreditation Scheme is an important recognition of the diverse and challenging role that producers have in producing great Australian screen stories. Accreditation is open to all producers in Australia and will be used to classify eligible producers for inclusion in awards, assist in mediation of credit disputes and make available an accreditation mark for producers to include alongside their screen credit, said Matthew Deaner, CEO of Screen Producers Australia.

Screen Producers Australia has strong networks and associations with other producing organisations globally and for those who have the formal accreditation we offer, will find that this enhances their reputation and professional regard.

Deaner added The S.P.A. Producer Accreditation Scheme reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a strong and healthy industry. This is further backed by our support for the growth of creative talent in this country through our Ones To Watch mentoring program, the new Business Essentials classes aimed at our early career and emerging producers; in addition to our highly regarded Master Class and Business Class series for the more experienced producer.

The S.P.A. Producer Accreditation Scheme has been adapted from a similar scheme operated by the Producers Guild of America. The genres included in the scheme are feature film, television drama and documentary. The accreditation system will eventually be expanded to include all other forms of production, including multimedia and interactive, and other types of producer roles after further consultation.
