You can also check out 'Make-Up Artist' magazine's make-up school directory. Here's their list of Australian schools: http://makeupmag.com/schools_list/country/13/. And don't miss IMATS Sydney Sept. 21-22; there you can meet professional make-up artists and see how they create special make-up effects. http://www.imats.net/index.php

Go to places like JMC Academy (not sure if you have one in Sydney, but places like that with film students, etc) and ask if you can post a flyer on their bulletin board. Tell your family and friends that you are interested in doing this (my mother in law got me a horror film gig this weekend, how exciting!)

Also nice dp, The Legend of Zelda games are awesome. I have the triforce tattooed on my foot :)
