Supporting recovery from sexual assault

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians and first peoples on the land on which we live, work and play. We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, to elders past and present and to all those who continue caring for lutruwita/Tasmania, sharing stories and upholding rights. We acknowledge the impacts of colonisation and dispossession and the contemporary disadvantage experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We also acknowledge the devastating impacts of family and sexual violence and child removal in Aboriginal communities. We recognise the power of truth telling and ongoing leadership by Aboriginal communities in addressing and preventing family and sexual violence.

We recognise, welcome and respect people of all genders, sexes and sexualities. Laurel House is committed to improving access and inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual people.
