I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and work, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present and recognise their deep, ongoing connection to land, waters, and culture.

I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that healing, storytelling, and community have always been central to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and being.
