Acknowledgement of Country
Honoring the Traditional Custodians of the Land on Which We Work and Gather.

Overview

Our Acknowledgement-Of Country Policy

Change Freight Forwarding Pty Ltd (CFFWORLD Transport) is a wholly Australian-owned freight forwarding and customs compliance company headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales. We operate across Australia and globally, providing efficient air, sea, rail freight, customs brokerage, and tracking services, focusing on transparent Australian supply chains.

As part of our commitment to respect, inclusion, and cultural awareness, we incorporate an Acknowledgement of Country into our communications and operations.

Purpose and Commitment

An Acknowledgement of Country is a way for anyone including organisations like ours to show respect for Traditional Owners and the enduring relationship of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country. It is a simple yet meaningful protocol that recognises the history and ongoing presence of First Nations peoples.

We are guided by Reconciliation Australia's recommendations:

  • There is no single required wording — the key is sincerity and, where possible, research into the relevant Country and Traditional Owners.
  • We use the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia and consult local resources to ensure accuracy (e.g., confirming Gadigal custodianship for our Sydney location).
  • This statement appears on our website, in email signatures (where appropriate), and may be used at the start of meetings, events, or internal communications.

We encourage sincerity in all cultural protocols. We remain open to guidance from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, local Aboriginal Land Councils, or Native Title representative bodies on appropriate engagement relevant to our operations.

Welcome to Country

A Welcome to Country is a distinct cultural protocol performed only by Traditional Owners (or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples authorised by them) to welcome visitors to specific Country. It may include speeches, ceremonies, singing, dancing, or other elements.

We recognise that only Traditional Owners can deliver a Welcome to Country. Where relevant (e.g., for formal events on specific lands), we will seek to organise one through appropriate local channels, such as the relevant Aboriginal Land Council.

Welcome to Country

Our Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters throughout Australia, and in particular the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, on whose Country our Sydney office stands. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and community, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

This acknowledgement reflects our respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations of Australia and the original custodians of the lands on which we live, work, and conduct business.
