In recognition of the deep history and cultural connection, we acknowledge and pay our respects to palawa of lutrawita, the first and continuing custodians of these lands, waters and skies.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and thank them for their enduring care and stewardship of country. We honour their stories, songs, art and culture, and support their aspirations for the future of palawa.

We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of all communities in all places.
