Made In NSW

This fund is an emphatic vote of confidence in what is a substantial creative and commercial contribution made by the screen industry to NSW. By doubling its support, the NSW Government is empowering the production community to make big and bold screen stories that leverage greater investment and create jobs, said Mr Deaner.

According to the joint statement by Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts Troy Grant and Treasurer Gladys Berejiklian, Made in NSW will increase existing funding to almost $40 million over the next two years. The fund will be managed by Screen NSW and used to support major Australian television drama and attract international film and television.

Australian television drama carries the nation's dialogue, it is both successful at home and abroad, delivering a wealth of opportunities for careers, economic returns and great viewing.

We thank the Deputy Premier for his generous and ongoing engagement with the production community, taking the time to understand the challenges and opportunities for growth for local production businesses based in NSW.

This engagement reinforces a strong industry and government partnership. We look forward to working with Screen NSW to drive a meaningful increase in the production of great Australian television drama through this fund for the benefit of the state, the nation and the world, said Mr Deaner.
