Hire of Facilities

AFTRS has a unique relationship with the screen and radio industries. This relationship provides students with access to the work and thinking of the most creative current practitioners and assists AFTRS in fulfilling its functions, including providing advanced industry-focused education and training in the Australian Film Television and Radio School Act 1973 (AFTRS Act).

While AFTRS’ core operations are to deliver world-leading education and training for our students, we actively support our alumni and the wider screen and broadcast industries. Where available, we encourage industry and alumni to use our facilities to support their creative initiatives and endeavours. AFTRS will also consider requests for hire of its spaces from organisations outside the industry.
