Screen Australia is the national peak funding body that supports the development, production, promotion and distribution of Australian screen content.
In a media release, Minister for the Arts Tony Burke said Dale’s significant industry experience and knowledge will be an asset to the Board.
“Darren’s work will be familiar to many Australians, including his work on the television series Total Control – which I was able to see firsthand with some scenes being shot in the halls of Parliament House.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing Darren’s strong contribution as a member of the Screen Australia Board, helping to make sure more Australian stories are told on screen and shared with audiences everywhere.”
