We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We recognise their enduring connection to Country, lands, waters, culture and community, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that this always was and always will be First Nations land. We honour the continuing laws, cultures and governance systems of First Nations peoples and recognise their enduring contributions to justice, legal traditions and cultural practices of caring for Country.
