Other ways to Support Us

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.

Our Statement of Reflection

With the leadership and participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, communities and institutions, we seek to better understand the artefacts in our care.
