Modern Custodian: After Acknowledgement

After Acknowledgement

You've learnt the words.

You've found the confidence.

You've realised an Acknowledgement of Country doesn't have to be a script.

Now what?

After Acknowledgement is a new keynote from Rhys Paddick (Modern Custodian) that explores what comes next.

This isn't about learning another acknowledgement.

It's about learning to notice.

To build a genuine relationship with Country.

To discover that acknowledgement was never the destination—it was the invitation.

Through story, reflection, humour and practical insight, Rhys explores what it means to move from saying the right words to living a deeper practice of connection, curiosity and care.

Whether you've attended Acknowledge This before or you're simply asking, "How do I keep walking from here?", this keynote offers a thoughtful next step.

Because the most important part of an Acknowledgement of Country...

...begins after it's over.
