Grit Media

GRIT MEDIA is a Victorian, not-for-profit organisation with the purpose of producing media with, for and by people with disabilities. We aim to bring awareness of disability into people’s homes through the production of media including television, video, film, print and radio. This will allow Australians generally to see disability as a natural part of life and be increasingly comfortable with seeing, hearing and discussing all aspects of disability much as they would any other realities of day to day life. We will do this by producing images of disability that are realistic, compelling and engaging.

Award winning, No Limits television series, is a skill development and training medium for artists, cast and crew with disabilities. The product and content development reflects, challenges and excites our community in TV.

We aim to ensure that people with experience of disability hold most creative positions and that all paid positions have a responsibility for training and mentoring to support that process. We work within excellent project and production management skills with a highly developed ability to work within deadlines and modest budgets..
