The National Rural Health Conference pays its respects to the traditional and original owners of this land their elders both past and present. We acknowledge that the Tasmanian Aboriginal people are the traditional and original custodians of the skies, water and land of lutruwita (Tasmania), country of which their mothers & grandmothers have given birth. 

We acknowledge their continued connection to this country that still provides the Tasmanian Aboriginal people with food, medicine and crafts that is celebrated in ceremony - knowledge that is over 2000 generations old. We appreciate the deep connection that the Tasmanian Aboriginal people have with lutruwita (Tasmania), and recognise that we also feel connected because of the support and friendship that we have enjoyed for many years with the many Friends and colleagues in the rural health sector who have come from lutruwita (Tasmania).
