Cultural Safety Training
“To be culturally safe you have to be culturally aware and culturally sensitive.”
Our objective is to develop cultural knowledge and skills that will enable you to better engage with and understand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in a culturally safe way.
The training is designed to inform and educate non-Indigenous peoples and organisations to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in a culturally safe and sensitive manner. Through understanding the impacts of colonisation and of the ongoing poverty, mistreatment, traumas, discrimination and racism from a lived experience. These learnings can be implemented in both your working and personal lives.
