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. The workshop has been designed to strengthen individuals, organisations, and the services they offer. You will explore the key themes and capabilities of cultural competency and  understand how culturally appropriate strategies, policies and procedures can be embedded in our organisational culture.

 Learning Outcomes:

  • Increased understanding of the difference between being culturally aware, culturally competent and culturally safe;
  • Increased knowledge of the intersection of cultural safety and trauma informed practice when it comes to providing culturally safe services, and
  • 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.

LEad Many Countries, One Water by Chris Tobin
Artwork by Chris Tobin, commissioned by LEAD to create an original piece of art that reflects who we are and what we do. Titled “Many Countries, One Water”, the artwork represents the diversity and the connectedness across the communities in which we work. Reproduced with permission and gratitude.

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.
