We acknowledge that we work on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people, the original custodians of the Adelaide Plains and surrounding areas. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise their ongoing cultural and spiritual connection to this land. We acknowledge the Kaurna people's resilience in the face of historical injustice and their continuing contributions to the richness and diversity of this city. We commit to fostering genuine reconciliation between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians.
