SCALES community legal centre acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of these unceded lands where we live, learn and work. In particular the Whadjuk and Binjareb people of the Noongar Nation, on whose land our offices are located. We acknowledge and respect their continuing connection to culture, community and the contribution they make to the life of this nation, and we pay deep respect to Elders past and present.
