Women’s Legal Service Victoria works on the sovereign lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
We acknowledge their role as custodians of Country and pay our respects to their Elders, lores, customs and creation spirits.
As a specialist women’s legal service, we acknowledge the way Australia’s colonial legal and justice system continues to disproportionately harm Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children.
We commit to working in allyship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait organisations and communities to dismantle systems of marginalisation and discrimination.
We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. This land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
