PEOPLE
First People
Good Business Matters acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants and traditional custodians of the land and waters of the country we now call Australia.
We pay our respects to all Elders – past, present and forever emerging and express our gratitude and individual acknowledgements here.
