Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands for thousands of years.
These lands have been cared for by Indigenous communities and their ancestors. We recognise and appreciate their ongoing connection to Country, culture, and community. We also pay our respects to the elders, past and present, of these communities, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have contributed to the cultural heritage of this Country.
