I acknowledge the Boonwurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which my work takes place. I honour their enduring connection to land, waters, culture and community, and pay my respects to Elders past and present.

I recognise that sovereignty has not been ceded, and that this land holds stories, lore and wisdom far older than any system I work within. May this practice be carried out with humility, care and responsibility, and in respect of the ongoing presence, resilience and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
