We acknowledge and pay respects to the Palawa Aborigines of Lutrawita , on whose land we offer healing, learning, and listening. We pay respects to their elders, past, present, and emerging.

There is a rich history of healing on the Melukerdee country of the Huon River and the country of Lyluequonny people of the Far South in which we are honoured to play a part.

We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and no treaty signed.

Always was,

Always will be,

Aboriginal land.
