ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of all the lands on which we are located. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past, present and emerging. We celebrate and honour all our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commonwealth Games athletes past and present. We are committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society and sport.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

We value our history of diversity through the promotion of our values of inclusiveness and respect. Regardless of gender, sexual orientation, cultural background, ethnicity, location or life stage, every person should be treated with respect and dignity and protected from discrimination, harassment and abuse. We recognise that people feel safe, enjoy themselves and perform at their best when they are treated fairly, so we are committed to providing environments that are free from all forms of discrimination and harassment and remove all barriers or disadvantage. We seek to be ‘Greater Together’ as we connect with and positively contribute to Australian communities through sport. We live diversity, inclusiveness and the broadest possible definition of team. And we live this through our actions and our voice.
