Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which Starick works and delivers services, the Whadjuk and Binjareb people of the Noongar Nation, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

We recognise that the impacts of colonisation, dispossession, racism and intergenerational trauma continue to affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. We acknowledge the disproportionate impact of family and domestic violence on many Aboriginal women and children, and the strength, resilience and leadership of Aboriginal communities in healing and preventing violence.

We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that this always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
