Acknowledgement of Country
Embedded Files
I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are meeting today, the Awabakal People and acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who now reside in this area. I extend that respect to Elders past and present and emerging cultural knowledge holders.
