Indigenous Program Funding
Our Indigenous funding programs provide Western Australian Indigenous, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander screen practitioners and production companies with development production and practitioner development funding opportunities.
These programs are designed to identify and grow emerging Indigenous talent, sustain the momentum for mid-career and experienced Indigenous practitioners’ careers, and promote distinctive Western Australian Indigenous filmmaking voices.

Market Partnerships
Our Indigenous Market Partnership programs provide development and production funding for content by Western Australian Indigenous filmmakers, usually following a particular theme. They are designed to foster local Indigenous filmmaking talent and provide them with a clear pathway to audience.
These special initiatives run throughout the year in collaboration with market partners such as NITV and ABC.
