SheDoc is a Documentary Australia initiative to support female-identifying documentary filmmakers to make a pivotal contribution to women’s filmmaking careers and encourage greater participation of women in documentary filmmaking.

This professional development program is aimed to support women working in key creative roles in the documentary sector including producers, directors, writers, cinematographers, editors, sound designers and composers. Applications are encouraged from women from under-represented backgrounds, including those identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, LGBTQIA+, culturally and linguistically diverse, living with disability and based in regional and remote areas.

The fellowship aims to:

• To encourage new voices;
• To enable skills to be consolidated or developed;
• To assist projects to be kick started or completed
• To assist in building strategic audience engagement strategies.

We are committed to supporting women’s access to opportunities.  We are delighted to support SheDoc to develop and foster women’s voices exploring varied and nuanced perspectives on issues that affect the lives of women and to support creative and leadership aspirations amongst female-identifying documentary filmmakers.
