Established in 2000, the aims of the organisation are to foster, drive and promote the development of an innovative, sustainable and vibrant screen industry culture in the Northern Rivers region of NSW.

The Department of Transport and Regional Services, through the Sustainable Regions Program, has supported SCREENWORKS financially, since December 2002. This seed funding ends in December 2005 and the challenge now is for SCREENWORKS to become a self-sufficient organisation beyond this date.

To this end, SCREENWORKS board members are developing a business plan that sees SCREENWORKS sourcing funds from a diverse base as well as developing a range of revenue generating activities and programs. This will ensure that SCREENWORKS can continue to meet its objectives well into the future.

Northern Rivers SCREENWORKS Ltd. is a non-profit company limited by guarantee. The board of directors includes some of Australia's leading film, television and digital media producers and business representatives. Our office is located in Byron Bay where we can be contacted for advice on locations, industry contacts, services and facilities throughout the region.

SCREENWORKS invites professionals in the region to become subscribers to the Screenworks directory and information service as a way of promoting their services and facilities and developing the local industry.
