APSAD proudly acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our members and staff live and work

and acknowledge that Sovereignty has never been ceded.

We extend our acknowledgment to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.

We extend our acknowledgement to Māori as tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We honour the continuing connection to lands, waters, and communities

and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

APSAD proudly supports the constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through the Voice to Parliament as proposed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
