ANSTO’s two main campuses are located on the traditional lands of the Aboriginal nations of Dharawal at Lucas Heights and Kulin at Clayton. Furthermore, ANSTO’s extensive collaborations with universities and industry partners naturally connect with other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations on the national scale.
Therefore we also recognise these peoples as Australia’s first scientists, navigators, mathematicians and engineers. Their knowledge and skills are an integral part for the future growth of Australia and understanding its unique attributes.
