Generally reserved for interstate and international inbounds, Screen Queensland may provide scouting assistance to long form productions based upon the production’s stage of development and its estimated Queensland spend or QPE.

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, flights, helicopter/boat recce and the contracting of a local Location Manager by Screen Queensland up to the value of AUD 35k.
