Documentary Australia

Our core supporters

We would like to thank our supporters for their contribution to Documentary Australia in FY2022-2023.

As a small not-for-profit and truly independent initiative, Documentary Australia relies on a small, yet growing, community of supporters who are inspired by our innovative model and who understand the importance of storytelling and that a vibrant ecosystem is essential to support social change.

These visionary donors support or have supported our core operations and without them we would not exist. We are extremely grateful for their generosity.
