Rainbow Families is based on the lands of the Yaluk-ut Weelam clan of the Boon Wurrung peoples.

We hope to pay our deepest respects to Boon Wurrung elders, past and present, and wish to extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People across this Country we know as Australia.
