I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which I live, create and work. I also pay my respects to the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose cultures, histories, and connections to Country stretch across this vast continent, including the skies and waters.

I recognize the continuing sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their unique contributions to Australia’s cultural heritage. I honor their ongoing connection to land, waters, and community, and I celebrate the diversity of their traditions and knowledge, which represent the oldest living cultures in the world.

I extend my deepest respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and I affirm my commitment to fostering understanding, reconciliation, and a more equitable future.

Always was, Always and forever will be xx
