Telling stories in ways that make us stronger
~ Auntie Barbara Wingard
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians and Owners of the lands, seas and skies on which we work, learn, grow and live. Whilst we gather on many Countries on this continent, we acknowledge we were founded on the Lands of the Kaurna and Peramangk people. We pay our respects to All Elders past and present and recognise that their sovereignty was never ceded.
We are committed to diversity and inclusion; equity and accessibility are woven into everything we do. We honour lived experience and celebrate people of all backgrounds, ages, genders, sexualities, cultures, minds, bodies and abilities.
