Acknowledgement of Country
The Newcastle Business School would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners of the lands on which they are situated on, the Awabakal and Worimi peoples.
It is upon their ancestral lands that the University of Newcastle and NUspace is located. As we share our own knowledge, teaching and learning within the Newcastle Business School may we also pay respect to the knowledge embedded forever within Custodianship of Country.
We extend this respect to the Awabakal and Worimi Elders, past and present and to any First Nations people who visit, work or learn in this space.
