We recognise the First Peoples of this nation and their ongoing connection to culture and country. We acknowledge First Nations Peoples as the Traditional Owners, Custodians and Lore Keepers of the world’s oldest living culture and pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We wish to be part of the effort to overcome the unacceptably high levels of ear health issues among First Nations Peoples, and we treat this work as our contribution to Closing the Gap. We also understand the importance of indigenous sign languages to the health and wellbeing of First Nations Peoples.
