Acknowledgement of Country: We acknowledge our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first peoples and Traditional Owners and custodians of the lands on which we live and work.  We recognise their continued connection to land, waters and culture and acknowledge the strength, resilience and endurance of the Stolen Generations Survivors.  We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

Acknowledgement of Lived Experience: We acknowledge those people in our community with a lived or living experience of suicide and mental ill-health.  We remember those we have lost to suicide and acknowledge the suffering suicide brings when it touches our lives.

Acknowledgement of Diversity: We acknowledge and embrace our LGBTIQ+ community and actively celebrate people of every ethnicity, faith, age, disability, culture, language, gender identity, sex and sexual orientation.  We are committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful culture where all of our community members feel safe and supported.

This website was funded by a grant provided by Ski for Life. Ski for Life Inc is an incorporated body whose members are committed to raising awareness and promoting mental health, wellbeing and suicide prevention. Their fundraising enables them to provide grants to groups undertaking projects which align with their mission. We are truly grateful for their support.
