Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal People as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, where Palawa have cared for their children and prepared them for life since the beginning of time.

Together we live, work, play and learn on what always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

We honour Elders, past and present, and pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, families and friends.

We commit to ensuring every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child and young person is known, safe, well and learning.
