Experience and capability
Experience Working with Government Organisations
Since 2002, Dream Engine has produced videos for government departments, public agencies and local councils across Melbourne and Victoria. Our work covers public awareness campaigns, community information videos, staff training, policy explainers, stakeholder communications, consultation projects, conference coverage and executive communications.
We’ve produced community information videos for the City of Boroondara explaining available support services. We’ve also created training content for the Department of Health and an animated video for the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
For more local examples, see how Melbourne councils use video for community information, planning and staff communication.
Government-ready production
Working Within Government Processes
With many years of experience producing videos for Victorian government departments and agencies, we’re familiar with the policies, approval processes and reporting requirements that apply to media production. We work within your internal guidelines and governance requirements.
We can work with purchase orders, vendor onboarding, site inductions and any project reporting your team requires. These details are confirmed early so they do not slow down filming or delivery.
Sensitive material
Privacy and Security
We understand the sensitive nature of government work and follow careful privacy procedures on every project.
- Production and editing are handled by our in-house team rather than external contractors.
- Working material is shared only with authorised staff.
- Review and approval follow your organisation’s preferred process.
- Participant releases and consent are handled in line with your guidelines.
Accessible delivery
Accessible for All Audiences
Government content needs to be accessible to everyone, including people with hearing, vision or mobility challenges. We can deliver captions, transcripts, professional voiceovers, readable typography, high-contrast graphics and versions for websites, social channels, internal communications and presentations.
For the City of Boroondara Maternal and Child Health video series, accessibility was planned from the start with captions, full transcripts, a Mandarin-language version and short digital cut-downs. Our live streaming services also support accessible delivery for public briefings, council meetings and community events.
Clear review pathways
Managing Complex Approvals
Most government projects involve multiple stakeholders and formal review processes. We map out the approval pathway at the start of the project, set realistic timelines, and use simple online review tools so everyone can provide feedback easily. This helps keep projects moving, reduces delays, and helps your team stay aligned at each stage.
Before editing begins, we agree who will consolidate feedback and how many review rounds are required. That keeps comments organised and makes it clear when each version is ready to move forward.

Frequently asked questionsWhat government teams usually want to know
Practical answers about procurement, approvals, accessibility and filming in public-sector environments.
Can you align with our procurement and vendor requirements?
Yes. We can submit quotes in your preferred format, complete onboarding documentation, meet panel requirements and follow your internal approval workflows.
How do you handle messaging that requires accuracy and sensitivity?
We collaborate closely with your communications and policy teams. Scripts and interview questions are drafted, reviewed and approved before filming to ensure clarity, tone and accuracy.
We work with multiple stakeholders. How do you manage feedback?
We provide review links that allow time-stamped comments. We can also schedule structured feedback rounds so different teams can provide input efficiently.
Can you produce videos that meet accessibility requirements?
Yes. We provide captions, transcripts, professional voiceovers, readable typography, high-contrast graphics and versions suited to social channels, intranets and live presentations.
What if participants are nervous on camera?
We take a calm and supportive approach. We guide interviewees through conversation rather than scripted delivery so they sound natural and confident.
Do you follow privacy, consent and release processes?
Yes. We provide participant release forms, manage consent conversations, avoid capturing identifiable information where required and follow your privacy guidelines.
How do you ensure safety and compliance on site?
We carry public liability insurance, maintain tested and tagged equipment, hold Working With Children Checks where needed and follow site inductions and PPE requirements.
What affects the cost of a government video project?
Cost depends on scripting and pre-production, the number of filming days and locations, crew size, animation, accessibility versions, stakeholder review requirements and the number of final deliverables. We provide an itemised quote that can be formatted for your procurement process. You can also review our video production cost guide.
