# Acknowledgement of Country

.w-70[
We acknowledge that we are on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin nation and who have been custodians of this land for thousands of years, and acknowledge and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

We extend our welcome also to the traditional owners of the lands from which people in our livestream are joining.
