Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on July 17, a $400 million boost to the film and television industry to encourage entertainment companies to relocate their production to Australia for long-term projects over the next seven years.

Currently, Australia is in a unique position to attract major screen productions that have long-term pipelines because of our success in suppressing COVID-19.
