We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of this country, adjoining islands, oceans and seas. We pay respects to Elders, past, present and emerging with whom our future is secure. We respect the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of the Traditional Custodians and acknowledge their place in our nation’s historical, cultural and linguistic identity. Brotherboys and Sistergirls are part of the rainbow flag.
