I acknowledge the traditional owners and sovereign custodians of unceded lands on which I live, work, and practice, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People. I recognise the importance of First Nations peoples’ ongoing cultural practices of caring for Country, and extend my respect to Traditional Owners, Elders, and Knowledge Holders of all Indigenous Nations and Clans.
