Screen Queensland may provide scouting assistance to long form productions based upon the production’s stage of development and its estimated Queensland spend. Support through the scouting programme is available for projects prior to commencement of pre production and prior to or during financing.

Scouting assistance may include covering some of the costs associated with on-ground travel (including vehicle hire, accommodation) and the contracting of a local Location Manager by Screen Queensland.

Screen Queensland provides expert locations assistance including:

• script breakdowns
• shoot-to-order location pitches and
• production liaison for long-form projects shooting or looking to shoot in Queensland.

Screen Queensland may also assist productions with contacts to local, State and Federal Government agencies to facilitate their long-form production.

Region Profiles

COMING SOON - We are compiling a series of Region Profile documents which offer a shapshot of different areas in Queensland. This series will expand over time with more documents being added for download.

Location Managers

Queensland is home to a very well-credited group of Location Managers, the majority of whom have also worked on projects interstate and overseas. These talented Heads of Department have guided many major productions through the process of filming on state and federal government land, such as the Great Barrier Reef, and so are your ideal partners for shooting in Queensland.

More information on Location Managers can be found in Cast and Crew:
Long Form Location Managers.

Queensland is one of the most geographically diverse regions on the planet and is home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World – the Great Barrier Reef. The state frequently doubles for international locations (as seen in film and television productions such as The Pacific, Fool’s Gold, The Ruins, and Starter Wife series 1).

The Screen Queensland Image Bank features a range of professional images that illustrate the scope of locations available - from rainforests to desert, city to county. The Image Bank is currently being upgraded as part of our website redevelopment.
