We acknowledge the Wulgurukaba and Bindal people on whose lands and sea we live and work, and acknowledge all First Nations people and cultures; we honour their Elders past, present and emerging. We particularly recognise the unique experiences upon colonisation for First Nations Women and the contribution their voices continue to make within our organisation and the community in working towards reconciliation.
