Environment Victoria is located on the land of the Kulin Nation and works on country belonging to many Aboriginal nations. We pay our respects to First Nations Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their continuing contribution to caring for country. We acknowledge that their sovereignty has never been ceded.
We recognise our responsibility to use our power and our privilege to support Traditional Owners achieve land justice, address inequality and build power to make decisions about country and culture. We are committed through our 2022-26 strategy to finding opportunities to work with Traditional Owners, communities and representative bodies to achieve shared environmental outcomes and justice for First Nations people. You can find more detail on this work in our Annual Reports.
We welcome any feedback First Nations people and allies on this work – please contact a.merory@environmentvictoria.org.au.
