Temporary Interruption Fund (TIF)
The TIF closed on 14 October 2022 following the decision of the National Cabinet of Australian Premiers and Chief Ministers to end mandatory periods of isolation across all states and territories from this date.
Over its lifespan, 114 applications for TIF coverage were approved and contracted. The combined budgets of these 114 productions totalled $970.26 million dollars. An average of 328 people and 215 businesses were supported on each individual production.
The Temporary Interruption Fund (TIF) was originally announced by the government on 25 June 2020. The aim of the TIF was to support local film and television producers to start filming again in circumstances where new productions had been halted by insurers not providing coverage for COVID-19.
