I respect and acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past, present, and future. Furthermore, I respect and treasure the rich tapestry of stories, traditions, spirituality, and living culture that emanates from the Turrbal and Yugerra people, upon whose lands I have the privilege to live and work on. In my own practice and life I commit to using my privilege in the ongoing and collective endeavour of forging a better future; one that amplifies the voices of the marginalised, and affirms the empowerment of traditional knowledge systems and cultural identities. This land was never ceded. This always has been, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
