The Home Economics Institute of Australia acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of Australia and the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live, learn, and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and celebrate the stories, culture, and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders from all communities who also live, learn and work on this land.
