The Allan Labor Government is backing local jobs and talent to keep making screen production in Victoria. The Victorian Budget 2026/27 invests a further $27 million to support the Victorian Screen Incentive, designed to attract and secure more blockbusters right here in Victoria. This new funding creates an overall investment of $48.7 million to keep cameras rolling on world-class local and international productions in Victoria in 2026-27 and beyond. In 2024–25, Labor’s support of our screen industry drove over $500 million in direct economic activity. This supported 8,000 local jobs and 72 screen productions across the state.

“Every production means more jobs for Victorians.” Minister for Creative Industries Vicki Ward “We’re backing our creative industries so local talent can build careers here and take Victorian stories to the world.”

Victoria’s screen industry spans film, television, visual effects, post-production and digital games. It is built on a strong base of local creators, crew, screen businesses and infrastructure, including Docklands Studios Melbourne. The A24 project starring Daniel Kaluuya, Hotel Hotel Hotel Hotel, has just finished filming at Docklands Studios, just one of the latest high-calibre productions choosing Victoria – employing over 270 Victorians and engaging more than 250 local businesses.
