United we stand, and we recognise that we are building and developing homes for people with a disability on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.

I, Patrick Wilsmore am a proud husband, Dad and son to my wife, three children and my Mum in law who are proud of there Aboriginal heritage and we all seek to learn more about there Biripi and Wiradjuri local culture, traditions and the importance of genuine equality.
