Parramatta Women's Shelter acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we serve on, the Dharug people: this always was, and always will be Aboriginal land. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
In acknowledging Country, we commit ourselves to justice, particularly for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women experiencing family violence.
