In keeping with the spirit of Reconciliation,


I acknowledge the Turrbal, Jagera/Yuggera, Kabi Kabi
and Jinibara Peoples as the Traditional Owners of the
lands where QUT now stands and recognise that
these have always been places of teaching and
learning.
I wish to pay respect to their Elders past, present
and emerging and acknowledge the important role
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue
to play within the QUT community.
