We respond to Requests for Quote, Approaches to Market and tenders. Send us the documents and we’ll tell you quickly whether we’re a good fit.
What we make for government
Program and information films
Short films of a service at work, with the people who run it and the people who use it.
Recruitment films
Films that help hard-to-fill roles find the right people by showing the work and the place, like our series for Wirraka Maya Health Service in the Pilbara.
Image libraries and headshots
Staff, clinical and community photography for websites, recruitment and internal communications, with team headshots on the same visit.
Remote delivery
We go where the work is
In May 2025 we worked across the Pilbara for four clients: Wirraka Maya Health Service in Port Hedland, the Mission to Seafarers, Yaandina Community Services in Roebourne, and Pilbara Community Legal Service on its outreach run to Jigalong.
Before filming in Karijini National Park for Wirraka Maya, we sought permission from three Traditional Owner corporations and held the licence the park requires.
Cultural protocols and consent
Who appears, what is filmed and how it is used are agreed before we start. We work to Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) protocols, so cultural knowledge shared with us is used only in the ways agreed with the people it belongs to.
Documents we can provide
Supply Nation registration certificate
Certificates of currency for our insurance
