The Australian Communication Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) acknowledges Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Inslander cultures; and to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this website contains images, names, and audio recordings of people who may have passed away.
