How we recognise Traditional Owners
Understand the difference between the Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country, and explore the Traditional Custodians for our campuses.
We use both the Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country to recognise the Traditional Owners of the lands on which our campuses, centres and field stations are located. This is an important part of our commitment to genuine and ongoing reconciliation, and we encourage you to learn more about these cultural protocols.

There are two distinct cultural protocols. Wherever possible, the Aboriginal Education Centre will consult with local Aboriginal communities on the best form of recognition for each event.
