We begin by acknowledging the First Nations peoples and paying respect to elders past, present, and emerging. As members of Australia’s creative industry, we honour the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work—the Midjungbal, Yugambeh, Arakwal, Meanjin, and Gadigal peoples.

First Nations Australians are the world’s oldest continuous storytellers and artists. We recognise and celebrate the cultural richness, wisdom, and enduring connection to land, sea, and sky held by Indigenous and First Nations peoples. Their knowledge continues to guide and inspire.
