WBAFC acknowledge that we play, meet and train on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung peoples. We acknowledge them and the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
