*The Department of Communications and the Arts has produced a video on social media which was adapted from the Victorian Department of Justice video. The Victorian video is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iQLkt5C...
The Department of Communications and the Arts' video is approximately 94MB in size, so is too large to release to you via email. The Department has therefore prepared a transcript of the text of the video, and provided it in the pdf attached.
If you would like a copy of the video, you may either contact the Department to arrange a time to view the video in our Canberra office, or alternatively, if you provide an Australian postal address we will post you the video on a USB in mp4 format.

Should you have any queries, do not hesitate to contact us, preferably by email to [Department of Communications and the Arts request email].

Yours sincerely
