Made in NSW – Local Fund and the Regional Filming Fund - 2026-27 - R99

The Made in NSW – Local Fund includes two streams: the Made in NSW – Local Fund and the Regional Filming Fund (Program).

The Made in NSW - Local Fund supports high-end feature film and television drama productions by Australian production companies that are genuinely footloose and able to complete the majority of principal photography in New South Wales. Supported projects must have strong international potential and the capacity to reach new audiences, while also delivering significant employment opportunities for NSW-based screen practitioners.

The Regional Filming Fund offsets costs associated with shooting in regional areas of NSW to ensure regional communities share in the economic benefits of the screen sector. Regional NSW is defined as all areas in NSW outside the Greater Sydney region.

To be eligible, projects must have a total Production Budget between AUD $5 million and $18 million. If applying for the Regional Filming Fund, projects must meet the narrative minimum Qualifying Regional Production Expenditure in Regional NSW (QRPE) of $750,000 for narrative projects and shoot a minimum of 10 days in a regional NSW Local Government Area (LGA).
