Important Update to Temporary Interruption Fund (TIF)
Screen Australia has closed the Temporary Interruption Fund (TIF).
The scope of coverage under the TIF is limited to circumstances where a named individual contracts COVID-19 and is required by a public health order to isolate.
On 30 September 2022, the National Cabinet of Australian Premiers and Chief Ministers announced that rules in all states and territories which require mandatory periods of isolation for COVID-19-positive persons will be amended to remove the requirement of isolation from 14 October 2022 onwards.
This means that the TIF will not [be able to] provide cover for losses to productions where a named individual has contracted COVID-19 on or after 14 October 2022.
In these circumstances, Screen Australia is unable to assess further applications for cover under TIF, and has closed the application portal.
