The Documentary Australia Foundation (DAF) has been working out the total impact of the changes of the Producer Offset threshold from $500,000 to $1 million which the Federal Government is introducing on July 1.
The figures are difficult to assemble. The rebate system is run by the Producer Offset and Co-production Unit (POCU), which sits inside Screen Australia. The general data on the Offset does not separate out feature documentaries from dramas, even though they are different beasts.
