Local

A Welcome to Country is a formal and deeply respectful ceremony delivered by Traditional Custodians to welcome visitors to their land. It is a meaningful way to acknowledge the Traditional Owners and pay respect to their Elders - past and present.

The ceremony usually includes a spoken statement in local Aboriginal language (with translation), offering cultural insight and the Traditional Custodians’ blessing for the event taking place on their Country. How this is conducted may vary depending on the event location and the cultural customs of the local Aboriginal community.

A Welcome to Country is a powerful and culturally significant way to begin your event, perfect for conferences, openings, and especially welcoming international or interstate guests to Australia.
