Aboriginal Acknowledgement

Brinnie T Design acknowledges the traditional owners of this land, the Bunurong / Boonwurrung people and pay respects to their elders past, present and emerging and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in our community today.

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as the First Peoples and Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land and water on which we rely. We acknowledge and respect that Aboriginal communities are steeped in traditions and customs built on a disciplined social and cultural order that has sustained 60,000 years of existence. We acknowledge the significant disruptions to social and cultural order and the ongoing hurt caused by colonisation.

INTERSECTIONALITY /ɪntəsɛkʃəˈnalɪti/, noun

INCLUSIVE DESIGN

The way places are designed affects our ability to move, see, hear and communicate effectively.

Inclusive design is about designing places that everyone can use and aims to remove the barriers that may create undue effort and separation.  

​

It enables everyone to participate equally, confidently and independently in everyday activities.
