Acknowledgement of Country

I acknowledge the Muwinina (mou wee nee nar) and palawa (pronounced pal-a-wa) people, the traditional owners of the Land upon which we work, and recognise Aboriginal people’s continuing connection to Land, Sea, Waterways, Sky and Culture. I pay my respect to Aboriginal Elders; past and present. I respect all Tasmanian Aboriginal people, their culture and their rights as the first peoples of lutruwita.

I recognise and value Aboriginal histories, knowledge and lived experiences and commit to being culturally inclusive and respectful in our working relationships with all Aboriginal people. I also acknowledge that Aboriginal sovereignty has never been ceded.
