The Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land across and waters within and surrounding Australia in which we share. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and to the leaders of tomorrow. We acknowledge the histories and living cultures and the many thousands of years in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have sustainably developed their nations with dignity, grace and aspiration. We recognise and accept yours as the oldest continuous living culture in the world and that your sovereignty has never been ceded.

We are an inclusive, safe and respectful organisation which celebrates diversity and actively supports the inclusion of children, young people and adults from LGBTIQA+ communities, people with disabilities, people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and people with diverse religious beliefs or affiliations.
