Acknowledgement of Country

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags next to a map of Australia.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the First Peoples of Australia.

We also use the words First Nations people.

First Nations people have always looked after Country. 

Country means the land, water, sky and everything within them. 

We respect the important connection that First Nations people have with Country.

And we respect their Elders from the past and now.
