Fees are dependent upon the type of work.
Television commercials can pay well with a child in a speaking role (LEAD) expecting to earn between $1000 and $3000 depending on the size of the role and how long the commercial is aired. For featured or smaller roles fees can start from around $500 – $800 per commercial.
Film and TV pay less well and under MEAA rulings children in Victoria are only guaranteed 50% of the adult rate. However, as a proactive and reputable agency, IWM Next Gen always strives for our actors to paid at 75% of the adult rate, though unfortunately we cannot guarantee this. Also, as performers gain experience and profile, IWM Next Gen is able to negotiate higher fees on their behalf.
