Indigenous Acknowledgmentdgment Swinburne University of Technology recognises the historical and cultural significance of Australia's Indigenous history and the role it plays in contemporary education Each day, every Australian walks on what was once traditional Indigenous land. We therefore acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we all currently occupy, the Wurundjeri people, and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
