Australian International Co-Production Program
Download the guidelines
The Australian International Co-Production Program is part of the Australian Government's Film Program and is administered by Screen Australia 
. The objective of film co-production treaties and less-than-treaty arrangements is to foster cultural development and cultural exchange by facilitating international film co-productions.
Film co-productions also:
- open up new markets for Australian films;
- enable creative interchange;
- strengthen existing diplomatic ties between countries; and
- increase the output of high quality productions through the sharing of equity investment.
The Department assesses potential co-production partner countries and negotiates treaties and less-than-treaty arrangements in consultation with government and industry stakeholders. Assessments are made in accordance with the criteria set out in the guidelines.
The Australian Government has entered into official co-production arrangements with the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, Canada, Italy, Ireland, Israel, Germany, Signapore and China (Treaties) and France and New Zealand (Memoranda of Understanding or MOU).
