Film Fixer Brisbane

One local contact for shooting in Brisbane and Queensland. Locations, crew, permits, kit and logistics, handled end to end.

What does a film fixer in Brisbane actually do?

A film fixer in Brisbane is the local production professional an incoming crew hires to make a Queensland shoot work: scouting and securing locations, getting Brisbane City Council and Queensland permits approved, booking vetted local crew and equipment, handling airport arrivals, accommodation and transport, and solving problems on the day. Garrett Robinson has done that job across Australia for more than twenty years and runs every Brisbane job personally.

International crews briefing in for a Queensland shoot work with Jack Cowhig at HiJack Production Services on the production and logistics side, brief intake, international crew coordination and client communication, while Garrett runs the ground operation. Between them, both ends of what an overseas production actually needs.

Everything handled, by one accountable person.

Twenty years on location, one accountable contact.

Garrett Robinson has been finding locations and managing productions across Australia for over twenty years, from automotive stunts and international documentaries to Vogue cover shoots and arena tours. In 2025 he scouted the Brisbane sequences for Gymkhana: Aussie Shred, working the river, the CBD and the surrounding precincts. With the 2032 Olympics pulling new production infrastructure into the city, Brisbane is opening up fast, and a fixer who already knows every door is the difference between a schedule that holds and one that doesn't.

Film Fixer Brisbane questions, answered.

Brisbane is home base. We regularly run shoots on the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay across the border, and further afield into regional Queensland including the Daintree and the outback. Brisbane and the Gold Coast are often paired in a single trip.

First response within 24 hours. Location options typically land within 48 hours of a clear brief, with crew availability and a costed approach shortly after.

Yes, that is most of the work. You bring the director, DOP and producer; we supply everything local: crew, kit, locations, permits, transport, accommodation and on-the-ground production. Jack Cowhig at HiJack Production Services coordinates the international side.

Australia's federal Location Offset and PDV Offset apply to qualifying productions nationally, and Screen Queensland runs its own production attraction incentives. Eligibility depends on format, spend and structure; we can point you at the right people and build the schedule around it, but we are not tax advisers.

Both. Most jobs come through production companies and agencies, but brands producing in-house are welcome. Either way the brief form asks what you already have in place so we can quote properly.
