APAM takes place in Boorloo / Perth on the lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this country, and Indigenous cultures across the globe, whose custodianship is ongoing across lands, waters and communities.

We pay our heartfelt respect to their Elders, past and present.
