Traditional Owner Acknowledgment

We acknowledge and respect Victorian Traditional Owners as the original owners of Victoria’s land, waters, sky and mountains, their unique ability to care for Country and deep spiritual connection to it. We honour Elders past and present whose wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.

We acknowledge the profound impacts of climate change on Country and recognise the power of Traditional Owner knowledge in responding to and adapting to change. We are committed to genuinely partner, and meaningfully engage, with Victoria’s Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities to support the protection of Country, the maintenance of spiritual and cultural practices and their broader aspirations in the 21st century and beyond.
