Acknowledgement of Country

The WANADA office is based on Whadjuk Noongar land. WANADA acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of this country and its waters. We pay our respect to Elders past and present, and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

WANADA acknowledges the widespread and intergenerational effects of colonisation. The policy and actions of dispossession established long-lasting barriers between peoples, land and their culture. ​

WANADA is committed to advancing reconciliation and fostering the valuable contributions that Aboriginal people make in the alcohol and other drug service sector, to deliver meaningful and lasting outcomes for Aboriginal people, families and communities.
