We would like to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the traditional custodians of the lands,whose culture is the oldest living culture in human history. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples continuing connection to, and their care of the lands, water, sea, and sky since time immemorial, and pay our respect to Elders past, present, and future leaders. We acknowledge that Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

We recognise the individual and collective experience of those with lived and/or living experiences of eating disorders, mental ill-health and recovery, including their families, supporters and carers. We acknowledge their courageous contribution by sharing their unique and diverse expertise in the hope of improving better outcomes for all. We value and are committed to their partnership, placing lived experience expertise at the heart of research as we develop and shape our work.
