We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong/Boon Wurrung people as the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respect to their Elders – past and present. We express our gratitude for the sharing of this land, our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing and hope that we may move forward together in harmony and in the spirit of healing.

We also acknowledge the countless women who have experienced family violence, in particular women from migrant and refugee backgrounds. We recognise the courageous path they have travelled to rebuild their lives and honour their stories which continue to inspire and drive our work.

Diversity is an integral part of inTouch’s history and identity. We value and celebrate all forms of diversity across culture, ethnicity, language, sexuality and gender expression.
