Melbourne Storm is not “ditching” its Welcome to Country or Acknowledgments as suggested by recent media. We will continue these acknowledgments at culturally significant celebrations.
The strength and success of our Club is built on many cultures and communities, and our engagement with them has helped us to reflect the differing views on how we best support and represent each group.
We will continue to talk to these communities and seek their input to find the most appropriate and respectful way to acknowledge and celebrate culture, including how we best acknowledge First Nations people.
The Club will continue to support First Nations community groups and organisations, as it has done for many years, delivering programs and initiatives that promote positive health, welfare and education outcomes.
