The ACTF welcomes the Commonwealth Government’s commitment in the Federal Budget to our ongoing operational funding for the next 4 years ($11.9 million over 4 years).

ACTF CEO Jenny Buckland says:

“This recognises the significant value of Australian children’s screen content and provides us with certainty, enabling every dollar of the additional $20 million over 2 years that was previously announced to be invested in new content.

We’re looking forward to announcing the first group of new shows that will be supported with that funding next month.

We have some tremendous children’s live action drama, animation and factual content in development with independent producers around the country and are working with Screen Australia, the ABC, NITV, State and Territory agencies, Netflix, Stan and other platforms to deliver Australian children and their families a great range of quality content.

We expect that content to go on to entertain children all over the planet”.
