Acknowledgement
Our work takes place on the unceded lands of First Nations traditional owners across Australia. We acknowledge their Elders and their Ancestors, and we thank them for their ongoing care of the land, skies, and waterways of this country. We also acknowledge First Nations, Indigenous and African communities, their land and their Ancestors.
The VVMCRHR endeavours to honour, respect and position First Nations voices, knowledges, languages and culture through our research, teaching and service and is committed to ‘marra ngarrgoo, marra goorri – the Victorian Aboriginal Health, Medical and Wellbeing Research Accord.’
