AHHA acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We acknowledge the significance of our Australian indigenous heritage; and that our indigenous peoples never ceded their lands or their culture. We reflect on the remarkable understanding that is generously shared by indigenous peoples; particularly framing health and wellbeing in a deeply holistic way that both encompasses people and place.
