When Screen Australia enters transactions at or above that amount, extra approvals, reporting and controls automatically apply.\n\nThat affects Screen Australia directly and filmmakers/producers indirectly whenever grants, loans, investments or commercial deals reach $1 million—creating an enforceable line between routine spending and high‑value decisions that need greater scrutiny."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/screen-australia-regulations-2008","history":"/api/acts/screen-australia-regulations-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/screen-australia-regulations-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/screen-australia-regulations-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/screen-australia-regulations-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/screen-australia-regulations-2008/documents"}}
