Awehni and Open Hands WA acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work.

We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and community, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

We honour the resilience, culture, and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.

We are committed to listening, learning, and walking together with First Nations peoples in a spirit of respect, responsibility, and reconciliation.
