Acknowledgement to Country

We acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Yugambeh people. We acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and culture and we honour their elders, past, present and emerging.

We also acknowledge the diverse lands from which our extended community joins us, whether near or far. As we come together, virtually connected across various lands, we recognise the importance of unity, shared knowledge, and respect for the environments in which we live.

May we continue to learn, collaborate and celebrate the rich cultural diversity that makes our gathering meaningful, all while acknowledging the wisdom and heritage of the First Nations Peoples and their enduring connection to the lands.
