Acknowledgement Of Country

We extend our recognition of the 500 or more Australian Nations throughout this country, acknowledging in particular the Peramangk and Kaurna peoples on whose land we work, travel through and visit at the HEC.

We encourage everyone to understand upon which Nation’s land they live and visit. There is significant listening and learning that we need to do by valuing Aboriginal stories, languages and connections to land and sea, recognising that this knowledge and these understandings have been passed down through the generations, meriting our attention and respect.

We owe it to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to assist with implementing the outcomes outlined in the “Uluru Statement from the Heart” so that we can move forward together with credibility in calling ourselves Australians. We owe it to the world to profess our pride in this true and much larger Australian history than just the one narrative that has been developing since the colonisation of this continent.
