At CourtHeath, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. We honour and respect the continuing cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
CourtHeath is based in Naarm (Melbourne), Victoria. Our office is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin. Some of us work part-time and remotely across the traditional lands of the Gumbaynggirr, Ngunnawal, Kaurna, Bangerang, Yorta Yorta, Leterremairrener, Kuku Yalanji, Yirrganydji, Wiradjuri, Kuku Yalanji and Pangerninghe peoples, as well as across the Tasman Sea in Aotearoa, New Zealand. On behalf of CourtHeath, I also pay my respects to the ngã iwi Mãori as the Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa, affirming our commitment to upholding the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
We are a small team of permanent staff members, comprising a Managing Director and a handful of consultants. While our business is small, we lead by example. Through our commitment to reconciliation, we aim to encourage and influence others to do the same.
We thank the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander advisors who have guided us on our reconciliation journey so far. Victoria is the first and most advanced jurisdiction in Australia to pursue Treaty. Recognising this progress, CourtHeath is committed to making a meaningful contribution to the national reconciliation movement through the tangible actions outlined in this Reconciliation Action Plan.
Bridges of Connection Artwork by Jedess Hudson
At the heart of the artwork, six key motifs form the foundation of a story—a story of respect, listening, partnering, connecting, learning, and evolving.
These motifs represent the core principles that have guided CourtHeath’s reconciliation journey.
Like ancient yarning circles, these forms invite people to gather, feel heard, and honour the wisdom of those who have come before. They remind us that respect is the first bridge we must build—a connection that holds everything else together.
Flowing lines ripple outward, like the gentle movement of rivers winding through a vast landscape. These lines embody listening, carrying with them the stories, perspectives, and truths of others. They reflect how listening is an active process—one that requires patience, intention, and an open heart. Through listening, bridges of understanding begin to take shape.
Woven into the design are intricate patterns that overlap and interlock, representing partnering. They speak of collaboration, where every piece fits into the whole picture. They remind us that partnerships thrive when built on trust, shared values, and a willingness to work together to strengthen our communities.
The rivers and pathways flowing across the piece reflect the spirit of Connecting. These winding trails symbolise the connections forged between individuals, cultures, and communities. They tell of journeys taken together, of bridges built to span divides and bring people closer.
Each pathway speaks of movement—forward, toward a shared horizon. Scattered throughout the piece are dynamic, evolving designs, full of energy and transformation. They represent learning—the ever-changing process of discovery and growth. They remind us that learning is not a destination but a journey—one that continues to shape who we are and how we walk this path together.
Layered geometric patterns speak of evolving. They reflect the way we adapt, grow, and transform as we deepen our understanding of reconciliation. These layers remind us that evolution is constant—a process of building upon what has been learned, while always looking forward to what comes next.
Through Bridges of Connection, this artwork comes alive, telling the story of CourtHeath’s journey. A reflection of their commitment to reconciliation, a celebration of the progress they’ve made, and an invitation to continue building bridges toward a more unified and connected future.
