Aboriginal Cultural Sensitivity & Respect

This training is designed to provide staff at UniSA with the information, skills and knowledge necessary to develop cultural sensitivity and respect across our workplace.

This full-day workshop aims to raise awareness and begin the process of developing a working understanding of Aboriginal Australia. Through this, participants will be better prepared to engage in genuine cross-cultural communication and to identify strategies for working together.

Upon completion of the program you will have:

Understand the distinction between a Welcome to Country and an Acknowledgement of Country and when it is appropriate to engage each one.
Identify the impacts of past government policy and practice and the trans-generational impacts.
Increase awareness of the historical events that have compounded disadvantage for Aboriginal Australians.
Identify the impact of Federation, the Australian Constitution and the 1967 Referendum on Aboriginal Australians.
Understand the impacts of colonization on the population and wellbeing of the Aboriginal Australian community.
Understand how to apply 5 principles of Cultural Safety and cultural mindfulness to develop culturally safe, sensitive and respectful relationships with Aboriginal people. 
Understand the significance of ‘Identity’ for Aboriginal Australians as it applies to the commonwealth 3-part definition of Aboriginality. 
Identify and understand the main forms of racism and impact on victims. 
Identify personal opportunities to develop culturally safe, sensitive and respectful relationships with Aboriginal people.

Equivalent trainings include 'Aboriginal Cultural Awareness' or 'Aboriginal Cultural Safety' run at the University since 2014.
