On Location
Australian line producing across Disney Studios Sydney + Village Roadshow Gold Coast + Docklands Melbourne + Adelaide Studios + ScreenWest Perth — Producer + Location + PDV Offset stewardship, MEAA workforce management, and state-rebate stacking up to 40 percent-plus.
Here is how this works in practice. Our line producers run Australian feature, series, and high-end commercial shoots across the country's tier-one stage and location ecosystem. Disney Studios Australia in Sydney (former Fox — Matrix trilogy, Star Wars Episodes II and III, Mission Impossible 2, Moulin Rouge!, Australia, Great Gatsby, Wolverine, Hacksaw Ridge, Aquaman, Thor Ragnarok, Elvis Best Picture Oscar nom 2022), Village Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast (Mad Max Fury Road, Aquaman and Lost Kingdom, Thor Ragnarok, Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales, San Andreas, Pacific Rim, Furiosa 2024), Docklands Studios Melbourne (Babe, Where the Wild Things Are), Adelaide Studios (Storm Boy, The Babadook), and ScreenWest Perth facilities.
Here is the short of it. Day-to-day operations manage MEAA crew rosters under Fair Work Act 38-hour weeks, 11 percent Superannuation inputs, ATO PAYG withholding, ACS DP scales, ADG director rates, AWG writer floors, and reciprocal SAG-AFTRA / IATSE / DGA / Equity NZ records when global principals arrive via Qantas LA-Sydney direct.
Here is the breakdown. Australian line producing tracks the federal Producer Offset 30 percent (Australian shoots), Location Offset 30 percent (global shoots hitting 30M AUD QAPE), and PDV Offset 30 percent (post-prod VFX work with 5M AUD QAPE), stacking state rebates from Screen NSW 10 percent, VicScreen 10 percent, Screen Queensland 10 percent, ScreenWest 10 percent, SAFC 5-10 percent, and Screen Tasmania up to 15 percent — delivering combined good rebates of 40 percent-plus that line producers must defend against ATO audit.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We set up Australian Border Force ATA carnet clearance, CASA drone operator approvals, ACMA wireless licensing, Airservices Australia airspace planning, OAIC privacy compliance, and Aboriginal Land Council consultation for any unit moves on Country with AIATSIS-protocol-aligned Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country integration.
Here is how the picture comes together. Weather backup lines budget bushfire risk December to March in NSW, Victoria, and South Australia, Queensland wet-season cyclones November to April, outback heat extremes at Uluru-Kata Tjuta and Kakadu, and Tasmanian alpine variability at Cradle Mountain — protecting both schedule and net QAPE rebates margin across the picture.
