* Note for Producer Offset applicants: a new version of the A-Z feature and the documentary budgets are now available, giving you an indication of the QAPE (Qualifying Australian Production Expenditure) status of your budget line items.

The industry standard A-Z Budgets are intended as a guide to preparing budgets in the format that is usually required by funding bodies.

There are separate budgets for feature films, short films, documentaries, interactive digital media and animation.

The downloadable Excel spreadsheets are suitable for both PC and Macintosh users.
