Disney Studios Australia, Film studio in Sydney, Australia
Disney Studios Australia is a major film production facility in Sydney that operates nine sound stages of varying sizes to accommodate different filming needs. The complex includes production offices, workshops, screening theaters, and comprehensive post-production facilities for film and television work.
The facility was founded in 1998 as Fox Studios Australia on the site of the former Sydney Showground. It received its current name after The Walt Disney Company acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019.
The site acknowledges the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of this land in New South Wales. This recognition remains visible in how the place presents itself to visitors today.
The facility sits about 15 minutes from Sydney's central business district, making it reasonably accessible by local transport. Plan time to explore the different stages and production areas, as the scale of operations can feel substantial when moving through the complex.
The 32-acre complex houses around 60 independent entertainment businesses offering specialized services from textiles and camera equipment to aerial cinematography. This concentration of expert trades under one location creates a complete production ecosystem for filmmakers.
