OUR VISION

Media inspired by good nature.

Our goal at RACAT is to own and operate media companies that in one way or another add something to our world.  In the group’s early years, we focussed on natural history film making and our tag line was “media inspired by nature”.  As we grew our focus extended beyond nature and factual, to social issues, history and culture, comedy, drama and games.  Something indelible remained though:  whether you’re watching Hardball, Love on the Spectrum or Luke Warm Sex, or you’re playing Furistas or Flutter on your phone, or reading the Aus Geo magazine, or poetry from Australia’s Beating Heart, you’ll always find a celebration of something good and heart-warming in the way humans behave and the amazing world in which we live.  Our vision is just to keep doing that and try our best to do it better each time.

Established in 2010, Northern Pictures has one of the strongest storytelling reputations in Australian television, with its award-winning content recognised around the world.

Delivering Scripted, Children’s, Factual Entertainment and Documentary content to the international market, Northern Pictures is continually acknowledged for its significant contribution to diversity and representation on and off screen.

Junkee Media is home to influential youth media brands Junkee and Punkee. We create highly shareable content about the things that matter (and sometimes the things that don't) and we continually strive to add to the conversation, not just the noise.

Junkee has built a community that is engaged in endless conversation with our creators about their take on what's happening and about what concerns and diverse voices we should amplify next. Giving you access to the artists you should care about, context to the social justice issues that are taking up your brainspace and a full download of the TV shows, films and corners of the internet you want to be in.

Punkee is your antidote to this v chaotic, v stressful world and is passionate about living their best lives and enjoying downtime as much as possible. Punkee brings new ideas and ways of thinking about their world, exploring the things that bring you joy and give your life more meaning: sex (obviously), self care (rooms, crafting, fits, nails etc!!), and the sugar on top (ruminations on the stuff you can’t stop thinking about - we all need a little treat!).
