Acknowledgement of Country.

In the spirit of reconciliation and respect, IndigenousNCDs acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters, skies and communities throughout Australia and honours the enduring connections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country, culture, kinship and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and recognise the strength, resilience and leadership of First Nations peoples across Australia and Indigenous peoples around the world.
