What is a film fixer in Australia, and why use one?

A film fixer in Australia is a local production professional who handles everything an international crew needs to shoot in the country: locations, crew, equipment, permits and logistics, in any state. Fixer Sydney is run by Jack Cowhig, who fixes and line-produces shoots nationally, from Sydney and Melbourne to the outback, for overseas production companies and brands.

Australia is a continent, not a city. A shoot can open on Bondi, move to the red centre and finish in a Melbourne laneway. The value of a national film fixer is one accountable contact who carries the relationships, crew networks and permit knowledge across every state, so you are not stitching together separate local vendors in each city.

I cover the whole country: Sydney and regional New South Wales, Melbourne and Victoria, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Perth, Adelaide, Tasmania, tropical Far North Queensland and the outback. For productions focused on one city, the city-level detail lives on the Film Fixer Sydney page; this page is the national starting point.

If you are an overseas producer, working with a fixer on the ground in Australia means decisions, costs and problem-solving happen in real time and in the local market, not managed remotely across timezones.

One fixer, the whole country.

Over a decade I have fixed and location-managed commercial work across Australia for production companies including Finch, Sweetshop, Scoundrel and Photoplay, on brands such as Toyota, Google, Lyka and Selleys. International producers come back because one person carries the whole country: the crew who deliver, the councils who say yes, and the logistics that keep a multi-state shoot on schedule.

Film fixer Australia questions, answered.

All of Australia. Sydney is my base, but I regularly fix and line-produce shoots in Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth, Tasmania, Far North Queensland and the outback, partnering with trusted local crews while staying your single point of contact.
Yes. Most of my work is for international crews shooting in Australia. I bridge the gap between your creative and the practical realities here: visas, carnets, permits, crew, locations and budget, all handled locally.
A transparent fixer fee plus cost-plus pass-through for third-party expenses, so you see every line item. Send a brief and you will have a costed plan within 24 hours.
Yes. Multi-city and multi-state shoots are routine: I plan the locations, crew, permits and inter-state logistics as one continuous production rather than disconnected local jobs.
