Please note, while restrictions put in place to respond to COVID-19 are easing, there may be some changes to business-as-usual to keep workers and visitors safe. Please contact the business for the most up to date information, including opening times and social distancing measures.
We are designing a new experience called Hive, which will give visitors an opportunity to explore stories about our experts and the treasures preserved in our collection.
To ensure the safety of visitors and staff, we are adapting our physical spaces – with new signage, enhanced cleaning and hand-sanitising stations – and assessing foot traffic, social distancing and event capacity.
The events program for August will be available from early July. More detailed information about health and safety at the NFSA will be available on this page, so you can plan your visit and address any concerns with our staff ahead of time.
In the meantime, you can find hundreds of hours of content from our collection online, so you can continue to explore Australia’s audiovisual history during this time.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

“Game Masters : The Exhibition : well worth a visit”
Went with two 21 year olds who recognised most of the games and seemed to really enjoy themselves. The Let's Dance room has a whole wall of display which you can dance in front of.
