Film & Photography Applications
All professional filming/photography on the Sydney Fish Market site must gain prior approval from Sydney Fish Market marketing department.
Please read the below information, and then complete a Site Application Form online.

Visitors are welcome to take photos and video for personal use on their visit to the Market.
Important Application Information
Filming applications should be made at least 10 business days before the requested filming date (with the exception of breaking news).
Filming is only permitted Monday – Friday. Weekend or holiday filming/photography is not permitted.
Location fees may apply for commercial/corporate projects.
A successful application will:
- Promote Australian seafood, the seafood industry or Sydney Fish Market.
- Showcase Sydney Fish Market as a must do tourist destination in Sydney or feature our experiences including Behind the Scenes Tour and SSS cooking classes.
- Highlight Sydney Fish Market for events including Australia Day, Chinese New Year, Easter, Blessing of the Fleet and Christmas.
- Exhibit the Sydney Seafood School and cooking classes.
- Provide additional details where possible e.g. viewership, program details.
An unsuccessful application will be declined as a result of:
- Failure to complete a detailed application form.
- Unable to provide a Public Liability Insurance Certificate.
- Request to film/photograph on weekends.
- Application submitted with insufficient notice.
- Sydney Fish Market being oversubscribed with filming/photography requests.
- Student requests for filming, photography and interviews.
News and Current Affairs
We will always try to accommodate news and current affairs crews if there is a breaking ‘seafood’ story. News and current affairs crews still need to complete a site application form, and need to be clear about what their story is about and which Sydney Fish Market media spokesperson you are requesting to interview.
We will not be used as a location only (e.g. filming or photographing of a general seafood image to be used in a negative seafood story) unless the story directly involves Sydney Fish Market. Stories that utilise B-roll of SFM but do not directly relate to us are potentially defamatory and misleading for viewers/readers.
Footage cannot be reused without our consent. i.e. for stock footage. It is clearly outlined in the terms and conditions that ‘the footage/photography must not be used for any other purpose other than the project outlined in the application’.
From time to time we will have to say ‘no’ to a project if we believe we don’t have the right media spokesperson available to speak on the story you are covering. We will do our utmost to ensure this does not occur where possible.
