Acknowledgment of Country

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I MEET AND WORK ON THE STOLEN LAND OF THE WURUNDJERI AND BOON WURRUNG PEOPLE OF THE KULIN NATIONS AND THAT SOVEREIGNTY WAS NEVER CEDED. I PAY RESPECT TO ELDERS PAST, PRESENT AND EMERGING.
I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I, ALONG WITH MY ANCESTORS AND CULTURE, CONTRIBUTED AND CONTINUE TO BENEFIT FROM THE DESTRUCTION OF FIRST PEOPLES LAND, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE.

ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY ANCESTORS, I OFFER MY HEARTFELT APOLOGY.

I VOW TO ALWAYS RESPECT THE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM OF ALL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, AND UNDER THEIR GUIDANCE, CREATE A THRIVING FUTURE FOR THEIR CULTURE AND PEOPLES.
