Nartharsha Bamblett on stage

What is Queen Acknowledgements?

At the heart of Queen Acknowledgements is the intention to honour place, people, and purpose through culturally grounded practice.

Each ceremony is designed to:

  • Centre Acknowledgement as an embodied experience
  • Invite Connection to Self, Culture, Country, and Community
  • Inspire audiences to make a difference through awareness and presence

Through a rich tapestry of movement, language, and story, we create an energetic shift at the start of your event — one that aligns people with spirit, intention, and cultural truth.

This is where unity begins.

Ganga Giri Didgeridoo Player

This proud Palawa man has been rocking audiences of millions all over the world for thirty years.. Ganga Giri (pronounced Gun-Gah Gear-Ree) was drumming by eight and followed the call of the didgeridoo soon after. What started as a connection to one of the world’s oldest instruments evolved into a groundbreaking fusion of Indigenous Australian roots with global beats.

Recognised by Aboriginal elders for honoring the Yidaki’s or didgeridoo’s spiritual and cultural heritage, Ganga channels the sacred connection to Country through every performance. With 15 albums and collaborations with legends like Peter Gabriel, he’s become a global cultural ambassador—showing the world what a contemporary, multicultural Australia sounds like. Culture evolving.

Community Reflections

“Natarsha Bamblett’s Acknowledgement of Country at each of the 3 events at the MAV Technology conference where I was MC, was always fresh, appropriate for the setting and engaged and educated the audience. She made the audience feel like they were really part of the acknowledgement and not just observing. I would highly recommend it”

“I thought it was the best Acknowledgement of Country I’ve witnessed in my 13 years in Australia. I really loved how she had the audience participate and for me it added a deeper sense of understanding and feeling.”
Patrick Dillon
Manager Business Transformation, Frankston City Council
“I thought one of the highlights of the opening function and opening of the conference was the thoughtful and heartfelt Acknowledgement of Country by Tarsh Bamblett. Tarsh was not only warm but also engaging and she managed to have everyone in the room involved and engaged in a thoughtful approach.”
The Hon David Bartlett
Former Premier of Tasmania
"Tarsh Bamblett he’s an absolute powerhouse of a woman. The way she takes you on a journey of acknowledging this incredible land. I have been able to witness her on stage multiple times and have been moved each and every time she shares the way she does. It has been an honor to witness the impact she is creating across the nation, her warmth, her care, and her desire to be of service and create safe spaces where we can learn and empower ourselves with knowledge, is like no other. Highly recommend her for each and every event!"
Erika Cramer

"I wanted to take a moment to say a huge heartfelt thank you. Today was truly AMAZING and INSPIRATIONAL. Thank you so much for sharing your story and creating an environment that was inclusive, educational, challenging and empowering. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and our team members in their own way are reflecting on the key messages that you shared. On behalf of DECJUBA thank you again for sharing your story and welcoming us into your world albeit for a snapshot."
Georgegina Poulos
DECJUBA, Chief People Officer
"Nartarsha is simply amazing as a facilitator. As someone who has attended similar trainings before, I felt safer, more accepted and much more connected to the material presented. This is in part because Nartarsha brings ALL of herself into the session and creates a space of learning from a place of vulnerability and openness. Her ability to connect people and culture is simply amazing. I think everyone should have the privilege of being a part of her sessions and learning from the wealth of wisdom that she brings to the space!"
Well-being Participant
"I appreciate the genuine openness to shared cultural exchange and the opportunity to participate so fully based on 'all of ME'".
Windermere
"What a brilliant day! It was confronting and emotional, but made me think about how much unconscious bias was being inflicted on me. Would highly recommend, Nartarsha’s stories helped a non-indigenous person really grasp the impact of inter generational trauma. Thank you."

"We want to extend a heartfelt thank you from Impact Outfit for making the Summit so special. Your opening and interlude provided grounding and context, as well as joy, lightness and laughter as we danced."
Madeline Lucas

"Nartarsha was an uplifting speaker who commanded the (virtual) room with kindness and generously shared her knowledge of Country, community and parenthood with us. It was a delight to have her speak at our Foundation event during NAIDOC Week. Thank you again."
