How to Find auditions for commercials, Tv and Movie for a 14 yr old girl in Sydney aus?

I'm 14 adn do drama classes, am in the school dramam ensemble, adn local theatrical group. I'd love to be in a commercial or an extra in a tv show or movie, anything like this. I live 3 Hrs west of sydney, so anything in sydney is preferable. Any ideas of where to find an agent or agency or website to find auditions

1. The best way to find agents is to visit http://www.alliance.org.au, the Aussie actors' union. They have a list of agents there (though they're not recommendations, so you MUST do background research so you can make sure they're not dodgy). GET YOUR PARENTS TO READ THIS SITE, AND THE ONE BELOW. Also, plenty of recommendations and discussions have been made about Aussie agents at http://www.theatre.asn.au. There's also an excellent FAQ on the site about agents, how to get one, what they expect, what you should expect from them, dodgy agents, how to get started in acting, local classes, etc etc. The FAQ is an amazing resource which should answer most of your questions about pretty much anything in terms of acting at a young age in Australia. However, without having any experience or training, no agent will bother looking at your application: so even with what you've done so far, you'll want to spend the next few years continuing school and getting training/experience. At age 14, you probably won't be able to get an agent, even if you *are* passionate and have some small acting experience: you're in Sydney and you'll be competing with NIDA graduates/students. Agents are more likely to pick them over you. PS. Learn proper spelling and grammar. No agent will even bother looking at your application if it is illegible. Nothing says waste of their time than bad spelling.
2. I have the same dream as you, but saadly, it cannot be achieved easily. Find an acgent/agency and then work your way up from there.
