LGBTIQ+ Health Australia and the National Ethnic Disability Alliance pay our respects to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and the Torres Strait Islands.

We recognise their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities.

We acknowledge that these lands have been materially, ecologically and socially transformed through occupation by settlers and we acknowledge that this transformation does not erase history, sovereignty or continuing connections to culture.

We acknowledge the work undertaken by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for health and justice.

We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders who came before, those that lead now and those who will lead in the future.
