The Screen Diversity and Inclusion Network (SDIN) is a fantastic development for screen diversity in Australia, and we were thrilled to participate in the Sydney launch on 13 July. It sets out nine commitments to providing equal opportunities for all people at all levels, irrespective of their gender, age, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, disability or geographic location.
Some heavy-hitting names have already signed up, including Foxtel, Nine Network, Seven West Media, the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), ABC, SBS, Network Ten, The Australian Subscription Television and Radio Association (ASTRA), Screen Producers’ Australia (SPA), FreeTV Australia, the Australian Screen Industry Group (which represents all the Guilds), MediaRING, Screen Australia, Create NSW, Film Victoria, Screen Queensland, Screenwest, the South Australian Film Corporation, Screen Territory, Screen Tasmania and ScreenACT.
It’s well worth checking out the website for the full text of the charter, and useful resources.
