In the spirit of reconciliation, The Asia Pacific Paediatric Endocrine Society (APPES) and the Australia and the New Zealand Society for Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (ANZSPED) acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia, and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respect to their Elders, past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
