Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the traditional land owners of Australia, and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. As students attending universities in Australia, we recognise that the institutions we attend are on the sovereign land of these peoples, and we recognise our complicity in the ongoing colonisation of Indigenous land.
We pay our respects to their Elders – past, present, and emerging.
