Acknowledgement of Country

In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ deep spiritual and cultural connection to Country, it is customary to acknowledge Country as we pass through it. We acknowledge and pay our respects to the First Peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waterways where Australian Catholic University campuses are located, and we thank them for their continued custodianship.
