Acknowledging our Legacy
We not only recognise the generations of health and safety members of the Institute, but also recognise that we now operate throughout Australia, across a wide range of traditional Aboriginal lands in each state and territory and in doing so we acknowledge our indigenous members, and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging in all of the things we do.
