We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as traditional custodians of the land and waters and acknowledge and pays respect to their Elders, past and present. We support the ‘Uluru Statement From the Heart’ and support First Nations peoples to have a voice. We call on the Australian Parliament to make this a national priority.
We also acknowledge the women who have experienced family violence, in particular refugee and migrant women. We recognise that these women have forged a path, stood up for their rights and crafted the services that we deliver today.
