The Australian Maritime Safety Authority pays our respects to the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community.
In the spirit of reconciliation, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have occupied Australia for tens of thousands of years, and their cultures, laws, ceremonies, and connection to the land are strong and enduring. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and the continuation of cultural, spiritual, and educational practices of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within AMSA, within our regulated communities, and within the stakeholder groups in our sphere of influence.
