Talent Coordination

Here is how this works in practice. Our talent coordinators handle daily principal-cast operations for Australian shoots across Disney Studios Australia in Sydney, Village Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast, Docklands Studios Melbourne, Adelaide Studios, and Perth ScreenWest facilities — managing call times, wardrobe fittings, hair-and-makeup blocks, dialogue coaching, intimacy coordinator scheduling, dialect work for global shoots, plus daily welfare checks.

Here is the short of it. We work with the country's principal-talent agency network. Shanahan Management, RGM Artists, Profile Talent, BGM, Aran Michael Management, and Lisa Mann Creative Management — alongside MEAA Equity division (Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance) and reciprocal SAG-AFTRA, Equity NZ, and BECTU frameworks when global talent like Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Worthington, Toni Collette, Naomi Watts, Geoffrey Rush, Eric Bana, Joel Edgerton, Mia Wasikowska, Jacki Weaver, David Wenham, Hugo Weaving, or Rebel Wilson move between Australian and US/UK shoots.

Here is the breakdown. Australian talent planning integrates Fair Work Act 38-hour standard weeks, MEAA performer-rest provisions, ATO PAYG withholding, 11 percent Superannuation, plus reciprocal plan with SAG-AFTRA scale agreements for inbound US talent arriving via Qantas LA-Sydney direct. Australian Border Force entertainer visa support (Subclass 408 Temporary Activity), OAIC privacy compliance on talent medical data, and MEAA insurance evidence travel with each buy-in.

Aboriginal Land Council consultation locks Indigenous talent engagements covering Anangu (Uluru-Kata Tjuta), Yolŋu (Arnhem Land), Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri, Arrernte, and Tiwi communities, with AIATSIS Code of Ethics guidance and Classic Owner partnership protocols.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Producer Offset 30 percent, Location Offset 30 percent, and PDV Offset 30 percent QAPE rebates records captures principal-cast salaries within ATO-auditable rebates types. Cultural-safety briefings on Country and Welcome to Country welcome protocols apply to each unit move involving Indigenous talent or stories.
