The Bridge Youth Service acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands on which we work: the Yorta Yorta Nations, Taungurung and Wurundjeri people. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We extend our respects to all Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people that call these lands home. We acknowledge and recognise their enduring connection to this land, its waterways and skies. We affirm that sovereignty was never ceded, and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
