ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRY 

AuSAE acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities.  

We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders past and present. 

AuSAE also acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and learn: the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. As a community of association executives, we are privileged to work and learn everyday with indigenous colleagues and partners, especially as we come together on this land for ACE 2025.
