We acknowledge that country for Aboriginal peoples is an interconnected set of ancient and sophisticated relationships. The University of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ spreads across many interrelated Aboriginal countries that are bound by this sacred landscape, and intimate relationship with that landscape since creation.

From Sydney to the Southern Highlands, to the South Coast. From the fresh water to bitter water to salt. From city to urban to rural.

The University of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ acknowledges the custodianship of the Aboriginal peoples of this place and space that has kept alive the relationships between all living things. The University acknowledges the devastating impact of colonialisation on our campuses’ footprint and commit ourselves to truth-telling, healing and education.
