What video do Sydney public sector teams produce?
The six categories below cover most of what Shootsta produces for NSW state, federal and local government customers across Sydney.
Citizen-facing service video
Service explainers, program eligibility walkthroughs, how-to-apply videos for licences, payments and services, plus public health and safety communications for NSW residents.
Workforce training video
Onboarding for NSW state and local government employees, mandatory training (cybersecurity, work health and safety, code of conduct), policy update video and recertification modules.
Recruitment and workforce branding
Mission story video, role profiles, benefits explainers and day-in-the-life content for state and local government recruitment campaigns across NSW.
Leadership and ministerial comms
Department secretary updates, commissioner messages, programme launch announcements, policy explainers and town hall video for senior public-sector leadership.
Multi-language community content
Master English content with versions in Arabic, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean and the other languages NSW agencies routinely produce under multicultural language access frameworks.
Public consultation and stakeholder video
Community engagement content, pre-construction stakeholder briefings, consultation summary video and progress milestone content for major NSW projects and policy initiatives.
Working with procurement and accessibility
How do procurement, accessibility and security fit into the workflow?
Procurement: scopes of work align to NSW Procurement Board frameworks, agency-specific panels and Local Government Procurement vehicles. Performance specifications, deliverable structure and government property handling baked into the engagement scope.
Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA delivered as the standard package with captions, transcripts, audio description and accessible player embed. Per-language adaptation for agencies operating under multicultural language access plans. NSW Web Accessibility Standard requirements built into the brief, not treated as a finishing step.
Security: editorial workspace with controlled access lists, audit logging of every file access, defensible per-asset audit trail captured against the possibility of GIPA, ombudsman or ministerial briefing requests.

Frequently asked questions
Does Shootsta work with public sector agencies in Sydney and NSW?
Yes. NSW state government, federal agencies based in Sydney, and Sydney metropolitan councils all run video programs that Shootsta is well suited to. Citizen-facing services, workforce training, recruitment and leadership comms are the surfaces we work on most frequently.
How does accessibility delivery work for NSW government video?
NSW Web Accessibility Standard requires WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for digital content including video. We deliver open captions, WebVTT or SRT closed captions, full transcripts, audio description tracks where required, alt-text for thumbnails and accessible player embed code as the standard package. Per-language caption translation handled through our localisation pipeline for agencies operating under language access plans.
What about procurement?
We work within NSW Procurement Board frameworks, agency-specific panels and Local Government Procurement vehicles where applicable. Scopes of work align to the procurement vehicle: performance work statement, deliverable structure, government property handling and audit-trail requirements all baked into the engagement. Agencies new to video procurement should talk to us early to map the right vehicle.
How do you handle controlled unclassified information and sensitive footage?
Editorial workspace with controlled access lists, audit logging of every file access, no public cloud sharing of restricted footage. For CUI workflows we maintain defensible audit trails per asset against the possibility of GIPA, ombudsman or inspector general inspection.
Can you cover federal agencies based in Canberra and Sydney?
Yes. We mobilise crews to Canberra-based federal departments and Sydney-based federal agency offices. The Sydney HQ co-ordinates production with the federal-facing engagement workflow. Section 508-style and DTA digital accessibility requirements built into the standard delivery.
How is pricing structured for public sector video?
Shootsta runs on annual packages: 12, 24 or 36 finished videos a year. Most NSW agencies running active programs run on 24 to 36-video packages covering citizen-facing services, workforce training and leadership communications. Talk to us and we will share specific pricing for your volume and procurement requirements.
