Talent Escalator Programs
Targeted Initiatives

Screen Australia continues its support for the professional development of the industry through a range of project and skills focused events and other initiatives.

These initiatives provide key development opportunities for producers, writers, directors, script editors and development executives of various levels of experience, by building their development and production skills. They also provide practical experience to targeted teams or individuals in specific forms or genres by providing guidance or mentorship from leading industry professionals.

  • Project-based initiatives are usually for writer, producer and director teams working on specific projects.

  • Skills-based initiatives include seminars, tutorials, forums, or networking events aimed at advancing specific skills using high-level industry professionals.

Guidelines are devised with partners, and are specific to the requirements of each initiative.
