As Australians we should take great pride in what makes our country strong, acknowledge the varied backgrounds from which we come and hold a special place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We acknowledge our First Peoples who have cared for this land and survived as the oldest continuous culture on Earth.

Today, we recognise the enduring connection to country for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the strong bond of many other Australians to the land. Together, we reaffirm our commitment to reconciliation, and the value of truth telling and learning from our history. We work every day towards a culturally safe profession underpinned by our values of accountability, excellence, collaboration, courage and respect.
