We acknowledge the First Nations People upon whose stolen lands we operate. CASPA recognises that the land belonging to these peoples was never ceded, given up, bought or sold. We recognise their continuing connection to the land, waters and sky. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past, present and emerging. CASPA welcomes and celebrates diversity. We are committed to safe and inclusive places, policies and services for people of LGBTQISB+ communities, people living with a disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
