On 12 January the Morrison Government extended the $50 million Temporary Interruption Fund (TIF) for six months, to assist rehabilitation in the screen sector and acknowledge the ongoing effects of COVID-19. TIF coverage is now available for productions commencing principle photograph on or prior to 30 June 2022.
The fund established in mid-2020 created a safety net for local productions, allowing them to secure funding in the face of COVID-19 roadblocks and allow cast, crew and associated businesses to continue to work.
