Palmerston acknowledges that we live and work on Noongar Boodjar. We pay our respects to Noongar Elders past and present, acknowledging them as the holders of wisdom and culture and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We extend our respect to all Elders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, acknowledging all their diversity across Australia.

Palmerston celebrates and values the diversity of the people we support, our staff, and our partnerships. We recognise the richness of varied backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences, acknowledging the unique contributions of all communities. At Palmerston, everyone—irrespective of age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, race, religion, or culture—is welcomed, included, and celebrated for being themselves. We especially honour the voices of those with lived and living experience, recognising their resilience and the significance of their journeys. Together, we create a community where everyone is valued and supported.
