We continue to back our members in the print, media, entertainment, and arts industries. As one of Australia's leading industry funds, we're here to benefit our members but where it makes sense to do so, we also invest in our members' industries.
Investing in film and TV productions
Through our funding arrangement with Fulcrum Media Finance (Fulcrum) we are helping bring entertainment to the big screen and into our members’ homes.
Who is Fulcrum Media Finance?
Fulcrum is not a traditional bank; they are a specialist industry lender who provide access to tax incentives and pre-sale advance loans for film and TV productions across Australia and New Zealand.
As of 31 March 2026, Fulcrum has loaned more than $881 million to help finance the production of more than 480 screen productions supporting the Australian film and television industry.
Recent production highlights include:
- Highly anticipated family feature film “Bluey: The Movie”
- Second and third series of the widely acclaimed documentary series “The Assembly”
- A follow-on series of the children’s animation series Gabby’s Dollhouse “Doozie’s Doghouse”
- Drama series starring Hugo Weaving and Shabana Azeez, “The Airport Chaplain”
- Docu-series narrated by Rick Stein “Inside The Sydney Fish Market”
Our arrangement with Fulcrum dates back to 2010 and was originally launched as a $30 million revolving loan. The relationship has grown since Media Super’s merger with CBUS in April 2022. Our support continues with CBUS now providing a revolving loan limit of over $100 million, highlighting our continued support for our members in the creative industries.
