We acknowledge and respect Victorian Traditional Owners as the original custodians of Victoria's land and waters, their unique ability to care for the Country, and their deep spiritual connection to it. We honor Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom have ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices.
We are committed to genuinely partnering and meaningfully engaging with Victoria's Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities to support the protection of the Country, the maintenance of spiritual and cultural practices, and their broader aspirations in the 21st century and beyond.
