We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather and operate in Aspendale, Victoria. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who call this land home.

We recognize that this area holds deep historical, cultural, and spiritual significance for the Traditional Owners, the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge their enduring connection to the land, waterways, and community.

As we work, live, and interact on this land, we commit ourselves to fostering reconciliation, promoting understanding, and honoring the ongoing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to this region and beyond.

We stand with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, seeking to build positive relationships and engage in genuine partnerships that promote equity, respect, and shared prosperity.

Acknowledging the Traditional Owners is an important step towards healing, recognition, and understanding, and we invite all those present to join us in acknowledging and honoring the rich cultural heritage of this land.
