Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal People as traditional custodians of this land. We pay respect to Elders past, present and future, as they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope for generations to come. 

We recognise and value Aboriginal histories, knowledge and lived experiences and commit to being culturally inclusive and respectful in our working relationships with Aboriginal People.
