Acknowledgement of Country

Big Group Hug acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, on which we are located. We pay our respects to their Elders both past, present and emerging and their continued connection to land, sea, and community. We care for all Bubup’s, children and young people, on our lands and ensure they are protected from the adverse effects of disadvantage.
