Acknowledgement of Country
In recognition of the deep history and culture of this island, we acknowledge and pay our respects to Tasmanian Aboriginal people; the traditional owners of the land. We recognise Tasmanian Aboriginal people’s continuing connection to Land, Sea, Waterways, Sky and Culture and pay our respects to Elders, past and present.

Acknowledgment of Victim-Survivors
The Tasmanian Government acknowledges the trauma that continues to affect people with lived experience of child abuse. We are committed to being sensitive to this trauma as we use the learnings from past wrongs to protect the rights of current and future generations of children and young people and keep them safe from harm.
