Acknowledgement of Country I acknowledge the Whadjuk Noongar people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and work in the Perth Hills, and I pay my respects to their Elders past and present. I extend that respect to the Traditional Custodians of the lands across Australia where the therapists in our community live, work and care for families. Sovereignty was never ceded.
