Documentary Australia is pleased to announce that the 2025 Documentary Australia Impact Producer Program is now open for new applications. The program will commence in March 2025 and will be based in Sydney.
Documentary Australia will offer this opportunity to two professionals interested in moving into impact producing for documentaries. Find out more about last year’s program here.
What is an impact producer?
The role of an impact producer is multifaceted and varies from project to project. An impact producer may be responsible for designing social impact strategies, fundraising, and implementing campaign activities that utilise documentaries as a tool for social change. There is increasing demand for impact producers in the Australian documentary sector as films forge new distribution pathways to reach diverse audiences and create social change through strategic film impact campaigns.
About the opportunity:
Under the guidance of Documentary Australia’s impact team, participants will work on documentary impact campaigns and gain hands-on experience researching issues, implementing and coordinating campaign activities, researching and growing partnerships, and evaluating impact campaigns for documentary films.
They will gain knowledge in impact producing and participate in formal learning modules and industry masterclasses across key areas such as impact strategy, film distribution, communications and campaigning, fundraising, implementation, and evaluation.
Participants who complete the program satisfactorily will receive a letter of completion. Participants are anticipated to have the necessary skill set to work in the sector (at an impact coordinator level).
