Disney and AFTRS Help Shape the Next Generation of Australian Screen Talent

Apr 30, 2025

Targeted training initiatives like AFTRS On Set Onboarding play a critical role in strengthening Australia’s production workforce by preparing crew for first roles on set and in production offices.

Supported by The Walt Disney Company, the program gives participants hands‑on exposure to large‑scale, global productions, and how sets operates. Each course featured a simulated set activity with professional equipment and experienced crew, as well as class-based learning. This program reinforces Australia’s position as a trusted hub for complex screen production.

Investing in skills and career pathways ensures Australia remains competitive and production‑ready for international content. Souce: https://www.disney.com.au/news/disney-aftrs-set-stage-for-new-generation-of-australian-screen-talent
