Government video production, built for public trust.
Bohdee Media is a Supply Nation Certified, Indigenous-owned video production company. We help Commonwealth, state and local government explain policy, programs and services with the accuracy of a newsroom and the craft of a broadcaster.
Government content carries a higher burden than most. It has to be accurate, impartial, accessible and approved, and it still has to be watched. Our team came up through Australia’s major newsrooms, so your message is compelling without overstating.

WHY BOHDEE
The rigour of a newsroom, applied to public information.
We get it right.
Journalists check facts for a living. Every script is researched, sourced and ready for your policy, legal and ministerial review.
We make complex things clear.
Policy and programs explained through real people, animation and data visualisation: a dense brief turned into a two-minute film audiences understand.
We work within your approvals.
We’re used to layered sign-off: program areas, communications, legal, executive and ministerial offices. We build review stages into the schedule from day one.
We reach every Australian.
Captioning, transcripts, audio description scoping and NAATI-qualified translation are in-house, so accessible and multilingual versions are part of the plan, not an afterthought.
