 FIA International Media Accreditation

• Applicable for major media outlets and agencies which meet the minimum circulation and quality to fulfil the criteria of the FIA

National Support Category Media Accreditation

• Designed for Australian media outlets whose purpose is to cover the support category events at the FORMULA 1 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2025 or publications that wish to cover the event and all its activities outside of the on-track action of the FIA Formula One World Championship 2025

• Holders of Supercars Series Media Accreditation are not required to apply unless seeking FIA International Media Accreditation.

   

This accreditation portal is only for national Australian publications seeking media access to the FORMULA 1 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2025 for FIA accreditation.

All international requests from publications or agencies for race-by-race or permanent accreditation must be made via the FIA’s online accreditation system: F1.ams.fia.com

All applications must be lodged at least four weeks in advance of the race.

Media accreditation is restricted to professional journalists and photographers only.

The Media Event Pass and Media Access Pass are considered a working tool and are only to be used by working media members.

The FIA considers the media pass to be a working tool to be used only by genuine members of the media. Publishers, marketing personnel, copy sub editors, staff of the publication's secretariat, social media managers, influencers etc. cannot be accredited as media.

Under no circumstances will advertising, public relations agencies or similar companies and organisations be accredited as media, nor will the FIA issue any accreditation to representatives (press officers or otherwise) of sponsors, suppliers, engine suppliers, teams, drivers, etc.

Please note that lodgement of this application does not mean your application will be approved.

All applicants must fulfil the following criteria:

Coverage
For a daily newspaper a substantial amount of coverage for each event is required.

For example, an introductory article in the Thursday edition, follow-up articles in Friday, Saturday and, where applicable, Sunday editions, plus a race report in the Monday edition.

For a weekly or monthly publication a substantial amount of coverage for each event is required and a major portion of the overall content should be on the subject of Formula 1 Agencies or individuals applying for a race-by-race photographer accreditation must supply evidence of independent coverage where their pictures have been used for editorial purposes in at least three (3) publications that comply with the FIA Accreditation Criteria per pass issued at each event they have been accredited for in the previous year’s Championship.

Quality
The highest standards of fairness and accuracy are expected as a minimum quality requirement for the media. Any disputes over inaccuracies and quality will be determined by the FIA Media Delegate.

Circulation
Accreditation decisions are based on the relative media landscape in the country of the applicant. As such, the usual minimum circulation for a national weekly or monthly publication is 20,000 copies.

For a national daily the minimum circulation is 50,000 copies. The FIA recognises the industry-wide decline in print publications and considers each application on the merits of the applicant and their overall media reach.

Freelance journalists must apply for credentials via their own agencies. The onus is on the freelance applicant to prove the supply of regular Formula 1 related stories to at least three publications meeting the FIA Accreditation Criteria.

Photo agencies must be able to prove that the pictures have been regularly sold to publications matching the FIA Accreditation Criteria and have been paid for at the normal commercial rate (the FIA will, from time to time, request a selection of accredited photographers to supply general data about the market so as to accurately maintain appropriate accreditation criteria). A publication must be able to prove that the pictures published are the original work of the publication's accredited photographer.

The FIA retains the right to check all the information provided by publications and agencies to justify the allocation of a pass and to reject an application in case it does not match our accreditation criteria.

The FIA states that:

• Website accreditation is intended for professional stand-alone internet editorial/news coverage only.
• It is not to be used for any other purposes, including but not limited to public relations, promotional, commercial or entertainment use.
• While the FIA understands the increasing prevalence of social media as a form of media outlet, it implements a strict policy on any individual or organisation whose main output is via third party platforms or which relies predominantly on the content of others to gain reach.
• The FIA encourages such platforms to exist for the good of the sport, however it does not recognise the need for individuals to be accredited as media in order to fulfil this function.
• The number of websites that can be accredited is limited. An application may be refused even where all the Accreditation Criteria are met.
• A maximum of one representative journalist per website per event may be accredited. At the discretion of the FIA, more than one pass may be allocated to a website.
• Websites associated with a print or broadcast media organisation that has already applied for, and been granted, any other form of media accreditation might be accredited only if they fulfil the FIA's accreditation criteria. For more information, click here. 

National Support Category Media Accreditation is restricted to professional journalists and photographers only.

• Photographers cannot apply as individuals.

• All applications for photographers must be made in with the support of a publication or media outlet.

• Each publication will only be permitted a limited number of photography media passes per event.

• If any pass holder is found producing moving images or videos of any on-track activity without direct permission from AGPC Media (separate to Media Accreditation), their accreditation will be withdrawn.

• Media Accreditation for websites will be granted at the discretion of AGPC. Blogs, forums and other personal websites or social media pages will not qualify.
