Diversity Data 2023-24
The SAFC is pleased to be making significant steps toward supporting diversity and inclusion with our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2022-2032. The strategy sets out 10-year targets for screen sector diversity, reflecting South Australian population demographics.
In the second year of the strategy targets were met or exceeded across half of all diversity categories being tracked, with half of all categories also showing increases from 2022-23. See the data below and in our Annual Report.
