PCLC acknowledges the traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owners of country, recognises their continuing connection to land, water and community and pays respect to elders past, present, and future.
We also recognise the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, especially those who have been affected by domestic and family violence in all its forms.
