Acknowledgement of Country — learning together ✨

Our team recently participated in a professional training session all about Acknowledgement of Country. Together, we deep dived into the importance of Acknowledgement of Country and explored how we can show allyship and invite connection through meaningful, sincere acknowledgements.

Some of the (many) reasons Acknowledgement of Country is important:
🖤 Respect
🖤 Recognition
🖤 Truth telling
🖤 Allyship
🖤 Cultural understanding

Acknowledgement of Country is an opportunity to recognise and show respect for Traditional Owners and the continuation of cultural, spiritual, and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

It is also a daily reminder for all our staff about our commitment to acting in support of reconciliation, truth-telling and cultural understanding.

We are grateful for every opportunity to show respect through Acknowledgement of Country, whether it be in meetings, at events, or on our website and email signatures, and we are thankful for our staff who show up every day ready to learn, listen and grow.
