I acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung People as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which I live, work and connect. I pay my deepest respects to their Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

I recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture, and honour the strength and resilience of the Dja Dja Wurrung community. I am committed to listening, learning and contributing to a future that respects and celebrates First Nations peoples and their enduring custodianship of this Country.
