Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Support
Screenwest is committed to reflecting the broad diversity of Western Australia’s community through the projects we fund, the practitioners we support, and the audiences we reach.
Screenwest acknowledges that there continues to be underrepresentation and exclusion of a range of people and groups in the screen industry. As the Western Australia’s screen funding agency, we aim to take steps to redress systemic discrimination and inequity through our leadership, policies, and funding initiatives.
