Batchelor Institute would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereign people of the lands on
which our campuses are located. As we share our knowledge, teaching
and learning and engage in research practices within this Institution
and/or conduct business with a variety of external agencies and
organisations, we must always pay respect to the sovereign status of
our hosts. May their Ancestors always be remembered and honoured,
their Elders listened to and respected, all members treated with
dignity and fairness — in the present and well into the future.
We also acknowledge and pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever
with our hosts, custodianship of country and the binding relationship
they have with the land. Batchelor Institute extends this
acknowledgment and expression of respect to all sovereign custodians
— past, present and emerging. By expressing Acknowledgement of
Country we encourage all to extend and practice respect to all First
Nations people wherever their lands are located.

sadness or distress and in some cases, offend against strongly held
cultural prohibitions.
