I acknowledge that I live and create on the traditional lands of the Boon wurrung people of the Kulin Nation whose sovereignty of the land has never been ceded. I recognise the First people as traditional custodians of the land on which I was born and now live and show respect for their people and Elders; past, present and future. I respect the cultural heritage, beliefs, relationship with the land and contribution of all first nations Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders and recognise their strength, resilience and capacity.
