Today, we say thank you to the First Peoples of this land. Our main home is the Health Translation Hub at UNSW in Randwick. 

This is Bedegal and Bidjigal country. They have cared for this land for a very long time.

Many of us are joining from other places today. We say thank you to all the other nations, clans, and communities across New South Wales and Australia. We honor the country that each of you are on right now.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have looked after these lands for a very long time. 

When other peoples came to Australia, it caused great harm. That harm is still felt today.

Through all of this, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have stayed strong. They keep a deep and special connection to their country, their culture, and their traditions.

We will walk gently on this land. We do this with respect, with care, and with a thankful heart. We remember that sovereignty was never ceded, which means never given up. 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples never gave their land away. They never signed it away or agreed to hand it over. So this land always was and always will be First Nations land.

This Acknowledgement of Country is ready by Skie Sarfaraz.
