Apply for a stunt grading

Applying for a Stunt Grading? Read this checklist for what you need and what you need to do


1. Read the 2023 Stunt Grading Procedure and ensure you have fulfilled the criteria.

2. Compile your application.

All applications are to be compiled as one single PDF document that is no greater than 50 megabytes – see SAP Template for a guideline to all levels.

All PDF applications must include a shareable link to your show reel (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Dropbox etc). Links must be viewable upon opening and not password protected.

Show reels must also be uploaded in MP4 format with your application (posting USB sticks is no longer required).

3. It is highly advised that you have a member of the Stunt Grading Committee review your application before submitting.

4. Confirm your MEAA membership number

Existing members can do this by signing into the member portal or calling 1300 656 513

Prospective members seeking Stunt Actor Provisional (SAP) grading may not yet have a member number and will need to obtain a reference number in order to submit the application. Please visit join.meaa.org and apply online for MEAA membership, then call 1300 656 513 and pay the $235 application fee so that a reference number can be issued. Upon successful completion of the grading process, your membership will be activated and the full amount will be credited to your MEAA membership.

Applicants who have held continuous MEAA membership for six months or longer are exempt from paying the $235 SAP grading assessment fee.

5. You now need to complete this online form.

  • Darko Tuskan (Stunt Co-ordinator, QLD)
