 I acknowledge the sovereignty of Wiradyuri, Ngunawal, Gundungurra and Birpai peoples

of Australia who are the traditional owners and custodians of the lands on which CSU’s campuses are situated. I pay my respects to all First Nations Elders and I honour them for maintaining the cultural and intellectual foundations that ensure these traditions continue in perpetuity.
