QTFN acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their diverse and continuing connections to land, sea and community.

We acknowledge they were the first conservationists and scientists and have cared for this land for future generations. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
