The independent production industry plays an important role in shaping Australian culture. It has substantial revenue, and supports employment and exports for the broader economy.

This new Deloitte Access Economics report - for Screen Producers Australia - examines key trends, estimates economic activity, and provides an outlook for Australia's screen production industry. Key findings include that, in 2017, the sector generated production revenue of $1.2 billion, supported 20,000 jobs, and exported content to more than 200 international markets.
