YACVic respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the Aboriginal nations within Victoria where our work takes place, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. Bunjil’s lore states that those who walk on this land must care for the Country and waterways as well as care for the children and young people. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
