Aboriginal Cultural Sensitivity & Respect: Final Sessions for 2025

We acknowledge that many staff have expressed interest in attending the Aboriginal Cultural Sensitivity and Respect (ACSR) workshop, but have missed earlier opportunities this year. As part of our ongoing commitment to the UniSA 2025 Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we want to ensure as many people as possible can participate. To support this, we're offering four final sessions for 2025. These will be the last scheduled dates for the year, and we warmly encourage anyone who hasn't yet attended to secure their spot. 

This full-day workshop, facilitated by Bookabee Australia, 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.

On completion of the workshop, you will: 

  • Understand the distinction between a Welcome to Country and an Acknowledgement of Country, and when it is appropriate to engage each one. 
  • Be able to identify the impacts of past government policy and practice and the trans-generational impacts. 
  • Have increased your awareness of the historical events that have compounded disadvantage for Aboriginal Australians.  
  • Be able to identify the impact of Federation, the Australian Constitution, and the 1967 Referendum on Aboriginal Australians.  
  • Understand the impacts of colonisation on the population and wellbeing of the Aboriginal Australian community.  
  • Understand how to apply five principles of Cultural Safety and cultural mindfulness to develop culturally safe, sensitive, and respectful relationships with Aboriginal Peoples.   

Who should attend

All continuing and fixed term staff are required to attend Aboriginal Cultural Sensitivity and Respect training.
