Noongar Welcome to Country Protocols

Welcome to Country ceremonies are an acknowledgement and recognition of the rights of the Noongar Peoples to Noongar Land. This acknowledgement pays respect to the traditional custodians, ancestors and continuing cultural, spiritual and religious practices of Noongar people. Further, it provides an increasing awareness and recognition of Australia’s Aboriginal peoples and cultures.

The booklet at the link below sets out a comprehensive set of Noongar protocols for Welcome to Country ceremonies on Noongar Land.
