The Elder-Help Community Centres wish to respectfully acknowledge and honour the Aboriginal people, who have lived on and cared for this land for tens of thousands of years as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Elder-Help Community Centres operates from in Western Australia. We recognize their deep and continuing connection to this land, their rich culture, and the importance of their ongoing contribution to the community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge the importance of their knowledge, wisdom, and ongoing leadership. We also recognize the importance of caring for the land and maintaining its ecological integrity, and commit to working towards reconciliation and healing between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples.
