VicScreen is proud of Victoria’s outstanding reputation as a world-class film friendly state. The Filming Approval Act 2014 advises all Victorian councils and public agencies on standard processes for filming applications and assessing permits on public land.
Our Film Friendly Online Learning has been developed for Victorian councils and public agencies to encourage greater efficiency and consistency in the assessment and approval of filming permits.
It provides participants with valuable insights about the Victorian film industry and screen production, particularly for location-based shooting, and is designed to assist permitting agencies with simple guidance for the assessment of filming applications in accordance with the Filming Approval Act 2014.
