Lighthouse CFS respectfully acknowledges the First Nations people of Australia and the custodians of the land on which we work and we acknowledge the cultural and spiritual connection that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have with the land and sea. We pay our respects to Elders past and present as well as the existing and emerging leaders who walk together in partnership on our journey to reconciliation.
