ELAA acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Victoria and the nation. We pay our respects to Elders, and their communities of past, current and future generations. We recognise the significance of connections with place to the memories, traditions, cultures and the spiritual wellbeing of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We honour their wisdom, strength and resilience, and enduring traditional knowledge and educational practices passed from generation to generation.
ELAA is a place where all people are welcomed and supported.
