Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians.

Forest Collective acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, meet, create, and perform - primarily Wurundjeri land of the Kulin Nation. 

We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and extend our respects to all Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past and present. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs, and relationship with the land. We recognise Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of this nation.

Forest Collective is committed to accessibility in the arts.

We want to provide welcoming, inclusive, safe spaces for the development of, participation and engagement with, and attendance of our projects. 

We support and respect all persons, as well as our artists, contractors, and volunteers. We are committed to the inclusion of all persons, including Indigenous Australians, persons with disability, persons without disability, persons of culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and persons from LGBTQIA+ communities. 

We are committed to identifying barriers to access, such as cost, access to physical spaces, attitudes, and transport, and take measures wherever available to reduce and/or eliminate these barriers. 

All of our artists, contractors, and volunteers must agree to uphold this commitment to access. All artists, contractors, and volunteers, as well as Indigenous Australians, persons with disability, persons without disability, persons of culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and persons from LGBTQIA+ communities are welcome to contribute to this commitment to accessibility in the arts. 

Forest Collective is committed to child safety. 

We want children to be safe, happy and empowered. We support and respect all children, as do our artists, contractors, and volunteers. We are committed to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children, the cultural safety of children from a culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, and to providing a safe environment for children with a disability. We are committed to the safety, participation and empowerment of all children. 

We have zero tolerance of child abuse, and all allegations and safety concerns will be treated very seriously and consistently with our robust policies and procedures.

We have legal and moral obligations to contact authorities when we are worried about a child’s safety, which we follow rigorously. We are committed to preventing child abuse and identifying risks early, and removing and reducing these risks. 

All of our artists, contractors, and volunteers must agree to uphold this commitment to child safety when working with children. All artists, contractors, and volunteers, as well as children and their families, are given the opportunity to contribute to this commitment to child safety.
