As of Monday, June 22nd, NYFA Australia ("NYFAA") has commenced a gradual return to on-campus learning, in accordance with the Queensland Government's Roadmap to easing restrictions. NYFAA will maintain some classes remotely as a measure to continue to protect the health of our students, faculty, staff, and their families, and to help mitigate community spread of COVID-19 as we slowly transition back to campus life.
New York Film Academy Australia (NYFA Australia) is a Registered Training Organisation, delivering Nationally Recognised Qualifications in Australia and hands-on education in the area of the visual and performing arts, with a focus on Filmmaking, Acting for Film, Screenwriting, and 3D Animation & VFX.
