The Victorian Inspiring Australia program is a community-focused initiative led by the Royal Society of Victoria, in partnership with the Commonwealth Government and the State Government of Victoria.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners from all First Nations communities across Victoria and the essential ancestral knowledge held and recovered by Elders. We acknowledge that this land and its millennia-old relationship with First Nations people was never ceded. We acknowledge the process of truth telling with our First Scientists, the knowledge keepers and Custodians of Country. To you we convey our deep respect.
