Acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and their knowledge

We acknowledge the contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have made, and continue to make, to our culture, the economy and research. At ACOLA, we seek to work with First Nations communities, organisations and researchers to ensure their perspectives and knowledges are included in our activities.

We acknowledge the Ngunnawal people on which ACOLA’s office in Canberra is based, and the lands of Gadigal (Sydney), Whadjuk (Perth) and Wurundjeri (Melbourne) Peoples where our staff in other locations work. We pay our respect to Elders both past and present.
