Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first peoples, knowledge‐holders, and knowledge-creators of this country. We acknowledge that First Nations people never ceded their lands or seas. We value the knowledge and traditions that reflect the wisdom of ancestors going back 65,000 years and more and recognise the significance of this in the ways that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are custodians of Country. We will continue to learn ways to care for and be responsible for Country, and we will seek to build a future that is based on truth‐telling, mutual understanding, hope, empowerment, and self‐determination.
