Pathways Development Program 2025/26

The Pathways Development Program is a competitive Screen NSW initiative that supports emerging writers with disability to develop original long-form screen projects to a pitch-ready stage.

The objectives of the program are to:

• Increase the participation of creatives with disability in the NSW screen sector.
• Support the development of up to three long-form projects to a pitch-ready stage per round.
• Create clear industry pathways for alumni of the Screenability Film Fund and other emerging practitioners from under-represented groups.
• Strengthen the cultural and economic value of the NSW screen industry by fostering authentic, distinctive voices and stories.
