Strong Futures Collective

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of all Nations across Australia and recognise their enduring connection to Country, waters, skies, culture and community.

We pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present, who have carried and protected culture, knowledge, and stories across generations.

We acknowledge our children, our future, and our responsibility to ensure they grow strong in culture, identity, family and community, with opportunities to thrive and determine their own futures.

We honour our communities and the strength, resilience and collective wisdom that continue to sustain our peoples and cultures.

We also recognise our emerging and future community leaders, including those within our workplaces, who are stepping forward to carry culture, strengthen community and create change for generations yet to come.

We acknowledge that Country is more than the land on which we live and work. Country connects us to our ancestors, our families, our waterways, our stories, our identity and our responsibilities to one another.

As we come together in this workplace, we commit to listening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, respecting cultural knowledge and authority, and creating spaces where our people are culturally safe, valued and empowered to lead.

We walk together with respect for those who came before us, responsibility to those who are here today, and hope and strength for the generations who will follow.
