Acknowledgement of Country - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples

Veterinary Nurse Solutions acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first inhabitants of this land. We recognise their rich cultural heritage and deep spiritual connection to the land and waters and that their sovereignty was never surrendered. We pay respect to their Ancestors and Elders who have safeguarded the diverse wildlife and habitats of this beautiful country throughout the generations, and will continue to do so for generations to come.
