Welcome to the ACT & Capital Region

 

The ACT is home to Australia's National Capital, Canberra, situated on the magnificent Lake Burley Griffin and surrounded by the NSW council areas that together form the Capital Region.

The region offers native bushland, scenic coastlines, alpine peaks and sweeping rural plains - a region of natural diversity with the modern cityscape of Canberra at its heart.

Canberra has a strong film and television production industry, which continues to develop and grow. Its computer games industry has gained national attention and is generating significant export earnings.

Canberra's screen industry is ready to support visiting film and television productions and to produce and deliver quality content to buyers in the ACT, Australia and overseas.

The ACT Office of Film, Television & Digital Media, ScreenACT, supports the growth of the local screen industry and provides FREE assistance to visiting productions to help you find the right location and the right production support from our local industry.
