Today we look at alternative work opportunities, health & safety, business resources & more...

Work Opportunities

While the screen industry is currently in lockdown there are several sectors in New Zealand who are experiencing high demand. We've been working with agencies across all industries to identify opportunities for screen industry workers to keep busy and keep earning.

Take a look at these immediate and/or temporary work opportunities from:
- AWF & Madison Recruitment
- Northern Regional Alliance
- Sky
- NZ Market Place
- Work The Seasons
- Domino's

Health & Safety

The Screen Sector COVID-19 Action Group is working to understand the implications of the different alert levels from all aspects of the industry, to help them assess the appropriate Health and Safety mechanisms, logistics and support that needs to be in place for each project, we have outlined some questions. We ask that producers with productions that were stopped or delayed by the lockdown fill out this online form.

This information will help the H&S team assess the production community requirements and how best to navigate the H&S requirements level by level. This work will directly feed into the COVID-19 Health & Safety Standards Guide and the Toolkit.
