Noted film director Phillip Noyce has expressed concern about the state of the Australian film industry, saying that many young directors have to leave Australia in order to earn a reasonable living. His comments are part of a push by the Australian Screen Directors Authorship Collecting Society for reforms that would give directors greater control over their works to the extent that they would get access to secondary revenue streams such as royalties from online platforms; currently, Australian film directors only get royalties from broadcast television.

Australia’s uncompetitive tax rebate system for the film industry has prompted expatriate producer Andrew Banks to shot feature film "Submergence" in Germany, Spain and Kenya. Banks says the film could have been made in Australia if the tax incentives for local productions were more attractive. He notes that the tax breaks for the film industry are significantly higher in countries such as the UK, New Zealand and Canada.
