Acknowledgement Of Country

We respect First Nations peoples and their enduring connection to country – to the land, air, waterways, oceans, animals and plants – and recognise the wisdom and culture that has seen them thrive for thousands of years. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded, and, with humility and courage, wholeheartedly commit heads, hearts and hands to a path of healing, restitution and justice, embracing the wisdom of those who can guide us. We will fulfil our responsibility with honesty and integrity, we will challenge injustice, and - in all of this - we will hold ourselves accountable.

Safe teams, strong businesses

Supporting safe and respectful tourism workplaces

Proactively preventing workplace gender-based violence is good for business. It strengthens organisational performance, protects and enhances reputation, and helps position you as an employer of choice. However, it can be challenging for small to medium sized businesses to find the time and resources to invest in prevention action.
