You must lodge an application for Final Approval once the project is completed. This allows us to ensure that the project was made in accordance with the Provisional Approval.

Along with the required application form, you will need to provide:

• a completed Co-production Eligibility Tool
• the Australian Production Audit
• executed long-form agreements for each aspect of the finance plan
• the executed Co-producers’ Agreement
• a copy of the finished project
• a Statutory Declaration verifying the accuracy of the information contained in the application.

If you are seeking Final Producer Offset Certification please visit the Producer Offset Application Portal to apply.

How long does it take?

We aim to process final applications within 12 - 16 weeks of a complete application and will seek to process both Co-production and Producer Offset applications at the same time. However, we cannot issue a Producer Offset Final Certificate until the project’s final co-production status has been approved, and all relevant Competent Authorities must issue approval jointly.
