ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Western Sydney Local Health District acknowledges the first people of the land. The overarching Aboriginal nation in Western Sydney is the Darug nation. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the significance of land, water, spirit, kinship and culture, and the importance that these elements have to the health, well-being and future of the Aboriginal community.
