ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY
Bendigo Community Health Services, acknowledge
we live, work and enjoy Dja Dja Wurrung and
Taungurung country. We extend our appreciation
to the Djaara and Taungurung peoples. We pay
respect to Elders past and present for their
continued holding of memories, traditions,
culture and community aspirations. We recognise
sovereignty has never been ceded and express our
sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs
of colonisation and their lasting impact. May we
walk forward together in harmony and the spirit of
healing. It was and always will be Aboriginal land.
