SOME HAPPY DAY
ORANA CINEMA
THURSDAY 16th JUNE 2022
6pm
Some Happy Day is an independent feature film made with, and in, the community where the story is set: St Kilda. The Film encapsulates
themes of change and redemption, raising awareness to the global social issue of homelessness, through the powerful narrative of Tina, a
homeless woman in desperate search of a better life, and Frances, a social worker with troubles of her own.
REVIEWS:
âProfoundly moving. Some Happy Day lays bare the underbelly of Australian lives rarely seen. It is brave and real and will have you in
tears. A triumph of filmmaking. Tender, uplifting and bravely honest.â â Nikki Gemmell, author and journalist
âA sensitive, gritty portrayal of the shadows we all carry and the courage it takes to find our way through.â â Tim Costello AO
âAn unflinching and articulate story that works not only as a deeply poignant drama, but as an unapologetic statement against the devastation wrought by Australiaâs widening wealth gap ⌠Some Happy Day is a story of connection, perseverance, and community.â â James
Fletcher, Filmink
This is a FREE Event

This Wednesday our Sip and Search night will be at Sandalwood Family Centre from 6.30pm, but late arrivals welcome.
Either with a cosy cuppa or chill Chardy, as a group we will search online for stories and details on womenâs contributions in local history
to be part of the project.
Sip and Search are a series of social nights open to anyone who would like to be involved and help contribute to the 130 Women project in a
relaxed, informal setting. Just as social as it is research, weâll be working through our list of women through online resources to
fact-check and learn more of these womenâs stories.
As we search, we'll share what we find and chat about the contributions these women have made.
Help the project work through the usual websites and explore wherever some of the rabbit holes lead us. You may have a particular person
youâd like to research or we have plenty you can choose from.

Carers WA and GWHCC partner to provide a local presence for Carer Gateway. The Goldfields Womens Health Care Centre (GWHCC) is thrilled to be partnering with Carers WA, Carer Gatewayâs lead service provider in WA, to support the local delivery of Carer Gateway services in the Goldfields region. Carer Gateway is a federal government initiative providing a mix of free online, telephone and in-person supports, services and advice for family carers in Australia. These services have been specifically designed and tested by carers to help reduce stress and build resilience in the caring role. National Carers Week, 10th-16th October, provides an opportunity to recognise, celebrate and raise awareness of the 2.65 million unpaid carers in Australia, and thank them for the unwavering care and support they provide to their loved ones. Carers are an integral part of Australiaâs health system and are the foundation of our aged, disability, palliative and community care systems. GWHCC CEO Gloria Moyle who was a long-time carer of her loved ones, is very pleased to be able to provide a local contact for Carer Gateway, with the support of Carers WA. She says âCarers in regional WA are already disadvantaged by having limited access to vital services and are often forced to travel hundreds of kilometres to utilise what our city counterparts often take for granted. This adds another later to the already overwhelmed carer, who is then expected to navigate a complicated system to get the assistance they deserveâ. The Carers WA Community Engagement team will be joining the GWHCC at this yearâs Lorna Mitchell Spring Festival on Sunday 10th October and are already on their way up the pipeline to promote their services to carers in the Goldfields area. For any further information please contact Gloria Moyle (CEO â GWHCC) on 0407 711 445 or Brody MacLeod (Partnerships and Engagement Officer â Carers WA) 0479 112 210. http://www.carergateway.gov.au

Sam enjoys living in Kalgoorlie and sees a great community that comes together in times of need. She is mum of 5 and a grandmother of
two amazing grandchildren!! I have gained a lot of experience from being a high needs carer for 20 years, this is what originally compelled
me to start my educational journey. I have worked in aged care and the AOD sector. With each step I have realised how people are in charge
of their own healing journey and I want to be supportive of that. I have worked with people from many different cultural and social backgrounds and believe everyone should have access to professional and quality support.Some skills that have helped in my line of work is
being non-judgemental and being able to connect on different levels. I am empathetic and genuinely care for peoples well being. I am
currently studying to become a psychologist.
