Production during COVID-19

COVID-Safe guidelines

The COVID-Safe guidelines have been developed by an Australian Screen Sector Task Force and are intended to provide support and assistance to all practitioners (from screen producers to individual workers) in the Australian screen production industry as they consider returning and recommencing productions.

Read more about the Australian Screen Production Industry COVID-Safe guidelines on the Screen Australia website.

The guidelines provide advice on how to eliminate and minimise the risks associated with exposure of personnel to COVID-19 while working on a production. This is a live document which offers up-to-date practical advice, drawing on a range of resources and consultation with the federal chief medical officer's team, and will continue to evolve alongside the advice of governments and sector best practice.

These guidelines are to be used by screen productions as a framework to develop their own COVID-Safe risk mitigation plan prior to recommencing work.​

COVID-Safe sustainability guidance

This guidance has been created to enable screen productions to integrate sustainability into work practices without compromising the health and wellbeing of the cast and crew. It should be used in conjunction with the Australian Screen Production Industry COVID-Safe guidelines and current guidance provided by the state, territory and federal governments on management of COVID-19 risks in workplaces.
