First Nations acknowledgement

FASSTT acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present, and honour the strength, resilience and enduring cultures of First Nations peoples.  As a national network focused on trauma recovery, we recognise the ongoing impacts of colonisation and intergenerational harm. We are committed to truth-telling, cultural safety and standing in solidarity with First Nations communities toward healing and justice.

FASSTT stands in solidarity with LGBTIQA+ communities

We acknowledge the discrimination, persecution, and human rights abuses that many LGBTIQA+ people face globally – often leading to forced displacement. FASSTT affirms the right of all people, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation, to safety, dignity and belonging. We are committed to supporting LGBTIQA+ survivors of torture and trauma through inclusive, culturally responsive and trauma-focused care and to advancing justice and protection across all systems that affect their lives.
