    We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the unceded lands and waterways on which we live, learn, and work. In Naarm (Melbourne), we specifically recognize the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and acknowledge the pivotal importance of their continuing connection to land, water, and culture.
