The Victorian National Parks Association acknowledges the many First Peoples of the area now known as Victoria and honours their continuing connection to and caring for Country. We support Traditional Owner joint-management of parks and public land for conservation of natural and cultural heritage. 

Our office is located on traditional land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We offer our respect to Elders past, present and future.
