Acknowledgement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Custodians
Lifeline Direct Limited (LLD) acknowledges the Traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Custodians of the land on which we work and deliver our services.
We pay deep respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
We acknowledge the multiple and complex factors impacting on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original peoples of this country.
We value the protective role of connection to family, country, culture, and spirituality, celebrating those strengths as the foundation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ social and emotional wellbeing for more than 60,000 years.
LLD proudly supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ self determination and recognises equality as fundamental to realising our vision of a country free of suicide.
Acknowledgement of Suicide Lived and Living Experience
Lifeline Direct would like to acknowledge the individual and collective contributions of those with a lived and living experience of psychological distress (whether that be attributed to loneliness, domestic/family violence, mental ill health, suicide, trauma, or other life circumstances).
We also acknowledge those who love, have loved and care for them. Each person’s journey is unique, and we value the courage of those who share their perspectives to achieve better outcomes for all.
