Development Funding

We engage with Australian producers and writers at the earliest stages of development, investing small amounts across a broad range of projects. Projects are assessed for quality and potential.

Development Funding 2025

The ACTF Development funding round for 2025 is now open.  

Turnaround time for assessment and decisions will vary depending on volume of applications received, and whether the ACTF requires further documentation or information from you once your application has been submitted.

Potential applicants, however, are required to read the Project Development Funding Guidelines and discuss their project with a member of the ACTF Development team before applying for development funding.
