WA Branch – Acknowledge This! How to give an authentic Acknowledgement of Country

Do you want to deliver an authentic and meaningful Acknowledgement of Country? Today, many organisations, businesses and schools are implementing Acknowledgements of Country - and not many people know why. Most people read an Acknowledgement of Country off a script; an ad lib one they've heard; or worst case scenario, treat it as part of housekeeping. This token nature of presentation defeats the purpose of what an Acknowledgement of Country is meant to represent in the first place.

SPA WA Branch is proud to host Rhys from Acknowledge This! to support cultural learning.

Date: Thursday 9 July 2026

Time: 5–7 pm, Australian Western Standard Time (AWST)

Location: Online

Price: Free for members, $50 for non-members

Learning objectives

Participants will walk away with:

  • A deeper understanding of what an Acknowledgement of Country is
  • The purpose of each part of an Acknowledgement of Country
  • Confidence when delivering an Acknowledgement
  • Your own personalised Acknowledgement of Country format to adapt for any gatherings where you want to acknowledge our shared history.

Rhys Paddick from Acknowledge This!
