Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live, the Ngunnawal people, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be. Sovereignty never ceded. We also wish to thank artist Sarah Richards for creating “Wings of Advocacy”, a beautiful artwork that represents the values and purpose of ADACAS. Learn more about the work.
Diversity
We acknowledge the diversity of our community. We acknowledge LGBTIQA+ people’s right to self-expression and we celebrate the rich diversity of peoples bodies, genders, sexualities and relationships. We recognise the contribution people from culturally, ethnically and linguistically diverse backgrounds have and continue to make to our society. We value and strongly support the inclusion and participation of people with lived experience of disability and mental ill-health and carers in every part of community life. We offer our respect to older persons and recognise the life experience and wisdom they provide for our future.
