We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Lands where we meet, work, and live. We recognise the enduring spiritual connection, and we honour the sacredness of the land. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present, and future and the deep-seated wisdom they hold. We solemnly remind ourselves that this Land has always been, and will always be, Aboriginal Land.
