I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I work in Naarm (Melbourne) Australia:

the Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

​

I pay my respects to the elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. 

 

This is and always will be, Aboriginal land.
