Australian First Peoples' culture is the oldest continuing culture on the
planet more than 60,000 years old. To sustain our culture over this time
we supported the holistic health of our people through wellbeing and
medicine practices handed down through oral traditions. The brutal
colonisation of Australia interrupted this practice through an attempt to
remove our culture from our ancestors and consequent generations. However,

We are a staunch and strong people, surviving and continually recovering from this appalling history. 

Tea tree, or burgan in the Woiwurrung language of the Melbourne area, is our logo and one small part of our age old surviving and continuing holistic wellbeing and medicine practice. The leaves are used by First Peoples across Australia to strengthen spirit and for its anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. This medicine has been adopted more widely by settler Australians and internationally. 

We humbly pay respect to the wisdom of our ancestors and commit to First Peoples' healing ways that continue to strengthen our spirit, people, community and country.

We also commit to an Australian First Peoples' definition of health.
