We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather and pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging.
Australia is a country rich in diverse cultures, histories, and traditions. It is important for us to recognize and honour the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations of this continent, who have cared for and nurtured this land for thousands of years.
We acknowledge the deep spiritual and cultural connections Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to Country and their ongoing contributions to Australia’s heritage, society, and culture. We acknowledge the wisdom, knowledge, and resilience that has been passed down through countless generations.
