“MEAA representatives are in dialogue with the producers of those productions and will advise crew and performer members of their rights if work is interrupted by the strikes," MEAA chief executive Erin Madeley said.
Ms Madeley says the MEAA stands in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA and fully supports the actors and screenwriters who are going on strike.
"Their struggle is our struggle and a win in Hollywood will set the standard for improvements for screen performers around the world," she said.
"We call on the major Hollywood studios to negotiate in good faith to resolve the issues and meanwhile will be urging MEAA members to publicly show their support for their performer and writer colleagues in the US.
The strike is set to have repercussions around the world as many Hollywood productions being filmed overseas still have contracts with the SAG.
In the 2021 financial year international feature film productions spent more in Australia than the local productions did.
According to Screen Australia, foreign productions spent $510 million whereas local productions spent $500 million.
