Netflix donates $1m to launch COVID-19 film and TV emergency relief fund
Netflix and Support Act have launched a COVID-19 film and TV emergency relief fund to help workers impacted by production shutdowns across Australia.
The streaming giant will donate $1m to Support Act in order to set up the fund, which will involve $1,000 grants being available to workers – including assistants, coordinators, technicians and operators, and many of whom are paid hourly as casuals, and work on a project-to-project basis – who are out of jobs due to the pandemic’s impact on the sector.
