Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Education Workshop

About the Workshop

The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Education Workshop aims to provide participants the opportunity to take part in an interactive learning program based around Aboriginal cultures and history. The day includes topics such as past and present history, past policies and practices that have impacted upon Aboriginal peoples, cultural competence, engagement and protocols, and building respectful relationships. 

We envisage participants will leave with: 

• A greater level of confidence in their capacity to effectively engage with both their Aboriginal colleagues and the broader Aboriginal community. 

• Practical tips and information to apply within their workplace on a day-to-day basis. 

• All program participants receive resources as a reference point for both the program and as a starting point to further reading/research. 

Catering: Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are included. Please ensure to confirm any dietary requirements when registering.  

This event is supported by funding under the National Affordable Housing Agreement (NAHA), which is jointly funded by the ACT and Australian Governments, and the Child, Youth and Family Services Program (CYFSP), an ACT Government funded initiative.
