I’d like to acknowledge the traditional owners, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, for the land on which I live and work. I pay my respects to their Elders, both past and present, as the custodians of this land for thousands of years.

I acknowledge their rich cultural heritage and their ongoing connection to the land, waters, and community. I honour their wisdom, resilience, and the contributions they’ve made and continue to make to the heritage of this region.
