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.
We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our organisation operates, across Australia.
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.
