'We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands across Australia, paying our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

As we walk upon this ancient land, we are reminded of the profound connection that Indigenous peoples have with Country, particularly through the rich tapestry of Australian native plants and their ongoing role as sources of cultural connection, healing and health.

We commit to learning from these teachings and supporting intergenerational care, fostering a deeper appreciation for native plants while ensuring that this knowledge is preserved, respected, and shared, for future generations to thrive
