In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge Australia’s first nations people as the traditional owners and custodians of the land, and pay respect to the Cammeraygal people of the Eora nation, upon whose country cinemaze is based. We honour the storytelling and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia.
Also, in the spirit of chatting with mates, remember it's always important to check in with those around you. Whether it’s friends, family or colleagues, sometimes they may be going through a hard time and chatting with them may reassure them that they aren’t alone. If you or anyone you know is ever struggling, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
