We acknowledge and pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge sovereignty was never ceded .
We also recognise our role in working towards reconciliation ; to listen to and be led by the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples , to honour truth-telling so we can learn from the wrongdoings of the past , and to do the heavy lifting to lead change .
