An Australian Government Film is an Australian film that has been funded by the Australian government at either a state or federal level. This type of film is distinct from an Australian independent film which has had no up-front government investment. Most Australian films are funded by one or more of the state or federal film funding bodies such as Screen Australia, The NSW Film and Television Office, Film Victoria, ScreenWest, and The South Australian Film Corp. (NB - may contain some independent films - the list is not yet completely researched)
