Planning With Kids is written on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People, which includes the Gunung-Willam-Balluk clan, as the Traditional Custodians of this land. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
