VACL operates under First Peoples community protocols where any person is respected, supported, valued and their identity is not overridden by mainstream assumptions. We are keen and open to participatory engagement with people, and we expect reciprocity by honouring our Elders past, present and emerging. Also, we acknowledge our work takes place across unceded lands of the Kulin nation and we pay our respects to all our Elders past, present and emerging.
