The level of foreign production activity in Australia is influenced by a range of factors inlcuding the Australian dollar, and government rebates and incentives. The overall trend for foreign spend in Australia, on both shoot and PDV-only titles, has been upwards, as has the proportion of total Australian expenditure.
In 2023/24, spend on foreign theatrical features shooting in Australia was $477 million, down 22% on 2022/23. Foreign PDV-only spend was $168 million, up by 14% on the previous year.
