Aboriginal Cultural Awareness has been the primary method for staff to gain knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal people’s history, diversity, and cultures.

 

Although the importance of Cultural Awareness training can’t be undervalued, it has been viewed that the capacity of this training does not go far enough to adequately measure the learning for staff in relation to their level of cultural competence in relation to Aboriginal people and communities.

Cultural competency Is a valuable skills set for staff both professionally and personally supporting working and engaging with Aboriginal clients and communities, where Aboriginal Cultural competencies, skills and knowledge are necessary for the establishment of positive and effective relationships with Aboriginal people and communities.
