Overview

To start the conference, we acknowledge the Yugambeh people, Traditional Custodians of the land, through a Welcome to Country ceremony by the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre. This meaningful moment honors their connection to the land and invites us to be mindful of our shared responsibility to care for it.
