About these resources

This unit has been developed and created in collaboration with Everick Foundation and First Nations organisation, the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC). Everick Foundation and QYAC provided their insights and perspectives on the topics covered in this unit.

While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this content, we acknowledge hundreds of distinct Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups across Australia. Therefore, we recognise that this content will not be the sole representation, voice, or view of First Nations peoples and their diverse communities. We are grateful to QYAC for sharing their cultural knowledge to support these incredible education resources.
