“

“Netflix hadn’t done a show set in America but shot in Australia before - Clickbait was a first for them. Melbourne is incredibly user friendly and there’s a diversity of locations so we could get a lot of different kinds of looks."

Tony Ayres

Co-creator, Writer, Executive Producer, Clickbait

“

“La Brea bounces from modern day Los Angeles to 10,000 BC and back again, and Melbourne and regional Victoria have the versatility to do both. For the Los Angeles scenes, Melbourne is doubling for the Hollywood Hills, Wilshire Boulevard, Silver Lake and more. And only an hour from downtown Melbourne.”

J.C. Strouts

Location Supervisor, La Brea

VICTORIA WELCOMES YOU

Every project has a different scope and unique requirements. We work closely with the right authorities, businesses and communities to ensure filming is a positive experience for everyone. Before filming in Victoria, check out the Victorian Screen Industry Code of Conduct and other useful resources.

WANT TO BE A PART OF THE ACTION?

From houses and apartments to warehouses, cinemas and country stables, we are always seeking to add new locations to our Locations Gallery.

TV series, films or television commercials – your property could set the scene for Victoria’s next big hit!

THE SERVICE

VicScreen collects images from various locations and shares them online via our public locations gallery listed on our website or via our private locations gallery that is exclusively available to Victorian Location Managers who actively scout for film and television locations.

This is a free service promoting ‘film friendly’ properties and is used to help show our State's versatile appeal for film and television. This is to attract and encourage local and international film and TV production.

This service does not guarantee that your property will be chosen for filming. It will guarantee that your property will be known by many of the right people, like Location Managers, involved in finding properties for filming. There are a lot of variables in their choice of a property. It's important to maintain realistic expectations when listing your location.

Being a part of the service in no way obligates you to accept any production enquiry or proposals. The decision to allow use and access to your property for filming is entirely yours. Any fee for the use of the property along with terms and conditions, should be negotiated and agreed to before any filming occurs.

REGISTERING YOUR PROPERTY

To register your property we need the following:

10-30 high resolution photos of your property; and
Confirmation as to whether you would like your property listed on our public or private locations gallery.

Your photos should be reasonable quality wide shots and demonstrate what the location looks like.

Image requirements:

Photos should be in jpeg format (and approximately 1200px in width if possible)
Photos should be in landscape format (so more of the property is in the frame).
Include a wide shot of the front and back of the property. Step back to show as much as possible.
For interiors, shoot from the corner of the room towards the centre then again from the other corner. This should capture most of the detail.
If a room is dark please turn on some lights for more visibility.
Try to avoid including people in the photos.

Please advise what gallery you wish to be listed in (private or public) and send us your photos by sharing via Dropbox or WeTransfer to: locations@vicscreen.vic.gov.au.

INDIGENOUS MAP

View RAP Map

Victoria has a strong and proud Aboriginal history stretching back many thousands of years.

The Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 requires all Victorians to protect and conserve Aboriginal cultural heritage, and recognises Registered Aboriginal Parties (RAP) as the primary guardians, keepers and knowledge holders of Aboriginal Cultural Heritage.

The Indigenous Map shows the various RAPs in Victoria. You can find out about the cultural significance of a proposed filming location by contacting the relevant RAP directly.

Advice can also be sought from the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council or relevant permitting authority, such as local government and Parks Victoria.
