Guide for Acknowledgement & Welcome to Country
Page Last Updated: 15/11/2021 HM
The Guide for Acknowledgement of Aboriginal People and Country and Welcome to Country (the Guide) has been designed as a tool for State Service agencies to develop consistent whole-of-Government practices that support all employees to know when, how and why they should consider an Acknowledgement of Aboriginal People and Country or a Welcome to Country ceremony.
About the Guide
The Guide is for use by all Tasmanian State Service agencies and is intended to provide information and advice to all State Service employees who are organising and delivering activities, meetings, projects, programs and/or events relating to Aboriginal people, cultures, practices and/or history.
The introduction of this Guide represents an important step towards all Tasmanian State Service agencies and employees’ improved understanding, respect and recognition of Aboriginal world-views and unique ways of working including the importance of cultural protocols and ceremonies, encouraging culturally inclusive work practices and valuing the cultural diversity that enriches and motivates the work we do.
