Screen Australia's new research program highlights a steadfast commitment to Australian storytelling, despite ongoing challenges such as reduced international investment, economic volatility, and the strain on children’s content production.

These funds add to the over $85 million across all 57 funding programs that Screen Australia invested for the 2023/24 financial year.

The programs, three animations and one live action hybrid are all original titles and will be highlights of the ABC’s Children’s content slate in 2025 and beyond. They will be part of the offerings for 2025 and 2026.

The initiative offers workshops, masterclasses, and funding opportunities to guide participants in crafting innovative children’s content. Applications open September 19.

This announcement covers the remaining projects funded in the 2023/24 financial year, during which Screen Australia allocated $12.4 million to over 100 projects across production, development, and various initiatives, including Fresh Cuts with AIDC.
