About the General Diversity Fund
The General Diversity Fund provides funding to production companies, organisations and/or individuals to overcome barriers preventing Western Australian community members from underrepresented groups from participating in professional screen industry activities.
The General Diversity Fund accepts applications twice a year for stand-alone skills development and networking opportunities providing opportunity and access to the screen sector for those unlikely to have achieved otherwise.
In line with Screenwest’s current key strategic focus areas for Diversity, this round will focus on Key Creatives from diverse backgrounds and discovering new talent with diverse stories to tell. Particular focus will be placed on projects with key creatives (writer/director/producer) who identify as CaLD, LGBTQIA+ or as living with Disability.
How To Apply
Please refer to the Diversity Fund: Stream 2 – General Diversity Fund Guidelines for the full guidelines information about how to apply and required application materials.
All program guidelines are to be read in conjunction with the Screenwest Terms of Trade.

What is Diversity and Inclusion?

More specifically, as identified in the WA Screen Industry Diversity & Inclusion Roadmap, Screenwest recognises diversity as differences in:
- gender
- age
- Aboriginal identity
- cultural and linguistic diversity (CaLD)
- disability
- sexuality and gender identities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQIA+)
- location (including regional and remote regions), and
