Our Commitment to Reconciliation
Ventura acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Lands on which we operate. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and recognise the enduring connection of First Nations Peoples to Country.
The artwork was commissioned for Ventura and is called ‘Caring for Country’ by Alex Kerr.
Alex is a proud Wurundjeri man who is passionate about sharing and preserving First Nations’ culture.
