Religious Trauma & Cults

Acknowledgement of Country

The team at Religious Trauma & Cults acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we work on, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whose Elders and forebears have been custodians of lands, waters and seas. We are grateful for their stewardship of culture and country and pay our respects to all Indigenous people who engage with our work across the land now called Australia.

Statement of Inclusion & Diversity
