RESPECT

We acknowledge, with deep respect the Palawa people, the traditional owners of Lutruwita (Tasmania/Van Diemen’s Land). The Palawa people belong to the oldest continuing culture in the world. They have lived in union with Country for many thousands of years. We express gratitude for their custodianship and stand with Palawa people in the declaration that sovereignty remains unceded.

We recognise that gender is not binary and proudly welcome people of all genders and sexual orientations.
