Acknowledgement of Country

With deep respect and love, we acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the traditional custodians of this land. 

We honour their continued deep connection to Country and are nourished and inspired by their wisdom, experiences, and spirituality. 

We pay our respects to their Elders - past, present, and emerging. 

With spirit-filled hearts, we commit to building together a future inspired by reconciliation, inclusion, care for Country, hope, and love.

May their continued deep connection to Country, and their wisdom, experiences, and spirituality, continue to inspire and nurture us. 

Help us build a future inspired by reconciliation, inclusion, care for Country, hope, and love.
