A new Australia will be built on a new level of understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. Here are some of our tips on how to show respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders both in public and in private.

1. Open every public meeting and event by acknowledging the traditional owners. Use their name.
2. Always invite any traditional owners present to do the welcome to country. If someone is not a traditional owner (TO) they can do the acknowledgement
