Local Fixer Services

Here is how this works in practice. Our Australian fixers run on-the-ground coordination across all eight states and territories — Sydney NSW with Disney Studios Australia precinct access (Matrix, Star Wars II and III, Mission Impossible 2, Moulin Rouge!, Wolverine, Elvis, Hacksaw Ridge), Gold Coast Queensland with Village Roadshow Studios relationships (Mad Max Fury Road, Aquaman and Lost Kingdom, Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales, Thor Ragnarok, Furiosa, Elvis), Melbourne Victoria with Docklands Studios and VicScreen liaison, Adelaide South Australia with SAFC and Adelaide Studios access, Perth and Western Australia with ScreenWest networks, Darwin Northern Territory with Screen Territory contacts for Uluru-Kata Tjuta UNESCO 1987 and Kakadu UNESCO 1981 shoots, Hobart Tasmania with Screen Tasmania and Cradle Mountain wilderness access, and Brisbane Queensland with Brisbane Global Film Festival (BIFF) and Screen Queensland networks.

We hold direct relationships with Screen Australia, MEAA crew dispatchers, ACS DPs, ADG directors, AWG writers, casting agencies (Shanahan Management, RGM Artists), studio operators, and Aboriginal Land Councils for consultation on Country.

Here is the short of it. Australian fixer work means unlocking the regulatory stack fast — Producer Offset 30 percent, Location Offset 30 percent, and PDV Offset 30 percent applications through Screen Australia and the ATO; stackable Screen NSW, VicScreen, Screen Queensland, ScreenWest, SAFC, Screen Tasmania, and Screen Territory rebates; CASA drone operator clearances; ACMA wireless RF licensing; Airservices Australia airspace coordination; Australian Border Force ATA carnet inbound clearance via Qantas, Singapore, or Cathay freight from LAX, JFK, LHR, or HKG; OAIC privacy compliance; Fair Work Ombudsman crew-rate audit support; ATO PAYG and 11 percent Superannuation handling; and 10 percent GST invoicing throughout.

Here is the breakdown. Cultural coordination remains the irreplaceable fixer asset — mandatory Aboriginal Land Council consultation for filming on Country, AIATSIS protocol referencing, Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country logistics, Classic Owner permissions covering Anangu, Yolŋu, Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri, Arrernte, and Tiwi engagement, sacred-site clearances, and Native Title-aware location agreements following the Mabo 1992 framework.
