The Academy acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which our offices stand and on which we hold our meetings and events across the country. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples were the nation’s first scientists, and they remain the spiritual and cultural custodians of their land. We pay our respects to elders past and present.
