About
Inclusively Made
Inclusively Made is the certification standard for inclusive production in film, television and advertising. We help leaders embed disability inclusion from day one - not as an afterthought, but as a creative and cultural asset. Our certification and accreditation pathways are designed to empower brands, creative agencies and production companies to lead inclusion with confidence.
OUR VISION
A world where every person can see themselves equally and authentically reflected in the content, brands and stories that shape our culture.
OUR MISSION
Inclusively Made sets the certified global standard for disability-inclusive content across film, TV, advertising and communications. It gives the industry a proven system to embed inclusive content as business as usual, and gives audiences content that is authentically inclusive in front of and behind the camera.

Why We Exist
1 in 5 people have a disability, yet they remain dramatically underrepresented in content and behind the scenes. We exist to change that.
​
Inclusively Made drives inclusion from something that’s done to a production - to something that’s led within it. We put the power in your hands, equipping your team with the roadmap, support, and accountability to build authentically inclusive productions, from script to screen.
​
We are making inclusion business as usual.
Our Story
What began with a groundbreaking film has grown into a global movement. When Genevieve Clay-Smith's Be My Brother won Tropfest in 2009 and its lead actor Gerard O'Dwyer, a man with Down syndrome, took home Best Actor, it catalysed something extraordinary.
​
This success inspired Genevieve to co-found Bus Stop Films, and shortly after starting Taste Creative with her partner Henry Smith, pioneering inclusive production both on screen and behind the camera. For over 15 years, they've developed a pathway for inclusive production with organisations like BBC, ABC, Disney, Nine and Sesame Street, proving that inclusion creates better, more authentic storytelling.
​
Now Inclusively Made is transforming the proven approach into an industry-wide standard, equipping everyone to embrace inclusive production not as an exception, but as the future of content.

Built on the Shoulders of Giants
Inclusively Made exists because of the extraordinary people and organisations who believed in what we were building before it had a name.
The Organisations
From our founding collaborators Bus Stop Films and Taste Creative who's support, guidance and over 15 years of leadership in inclusive film production was imperative to building the 8 Pillars of Inclusion, to the early development support of Screen NSW and the backing of the Australian Disability Network, AFTRS, Australian Screen Editors, A2K Media, Expression Australia and Screen Producers Australia.
​
We've been shaped by the best in the business.
The People
None of this happens without the people who supported from the very beginning to help to shape what Inclusively Made could be: Wendy and Geoff Simpson, Murray Bunton, Liana Dubois, Margie Reid, Deanne Weir, Tracey Corbin-Matchett, Dianna La Grassa, Sarah Jane Johnson, Narelle Riley, Kelly O'Shaughnessy, Daniel Connolly, Amy Whalley, Simon Minty and Suzanne Colbert AM.
Their belief, generosity, and expertise are woven into everything we do.
