SheDoc 2024 - Documentary Australia

Screen Queensland has opened applications for SheDoc 2024 in partnership with Documentary Australia. Up to six Queensland women working in creative roles in the documentary sector will receive grants of $10,000 – $30,000 to boost their careers through tailored, self-directed development opportunities.

SheDoc 2024 is open to women working as screen practitioners in the factual space at any career level and can be used to fund travel, research, mentoring, residencies, skill development, project development and forming impact strategies. Grants are not available for production funding or equipment but can support Queensland women working as factual producers, directors, writers, cinematographers, editors, sound designers, composers and more. Applications are strongly encouraged from First Nations practitioners, as well as women from diverse groups.

The applicant must be the individual who wants to benefit from SheDoc 2024. Applications cannot be made nominating others for the program. Only those who are female-identifying are allowed to apply.

The program is proudly supported by the estate of James Simpson Love, and the Nelson Meers Foundation.
