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.

As a global Indigenous-led organisation, IndigenousNCDs acknowledges the diversity, cultures, knowledge systems and rights of Indigenous peoples internationally and stands in solidarity with Indigenous communities worldwise in advancing self-determination, health equity and social justice.
