We deliver online across many other Countries, and we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of each of them.
We pay respect to Elders past and present, and to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to hold knowledge about family, kinship and belonging that long predates anything we practise.
Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
