Acknowledging traditional custodians

We acknowledge and pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People 
as the first inhabitants of the nation, and who are the traditional custodians of the 
lands where our staff and students live, learn and work. We acknowledge the strength and resilience of our First Nations people and endeavour to work together for the benefit of all.
