Cultural Competency for working effectively with Aboriginal Families and Aboriginal Colleagues

Are you ‘Culturally Competent’ to work with Aboriginal families and colleagues?

This one-day face-to-face workshop will help you navigate the levels of cultural competency. It has been designed to equip you with strategies and strengthen your practice skills to build effective working relationships with Aboriginal clients and colleagues. You will explore the key themes and capabilities of cultural competency and understand how culturally appropriate policies and procedures can be embedded in your organisational culture.

 Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the difference between being culturally aware, culturally competent and culturally safe;
  • Apply knowledge of the intersection of cultural safety and trauma informed practice when it comes to providing culturally safe services, and
  • Demonstrate increased confidence, skills, and capacity to be proactive in using work practices that reflect cultural competency.

Who should attend this workshop?

For practitioners working with Aboriginal families and Aboriginal colleagues in the Western Sydney Nepean Blue Mountains Area.

Acknowledgement

LEAD acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land we gather and work on, and the land that you are on while visiting our website. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the cultures and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation. A better understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures develops an enriched appreciation for Australia’s cultural heritage and can lead to reconciliation. This is essential to the maturity of Australia as a nation and fundamental to the development of an Australian identity. Understanding and respect are guiding principles of LEAD’s Reconciliation Action Plan.
