Acknowledgement of Country​

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land in which we work, rest, and play, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and that this always was and always will be, Aboriginal Land - where they build rich culture, connect with the land, share stories and are authentically themselves as part of the ecosystem. We acknowledge that we are still learning how to share this beautiful land we inhabit and benefit off each day.

Inclusion Statement

We stand firmly for the recognition and respect of individuals of all ages, genders, sexualities, and identities. Our commitment extends to fostering an environment where diversity is valued, including those within the LGBTQI+ community. Together, we strive to create a welcoming space that celebrates our differences and promotes equality for everyone.
