What to expect

This three-part training program will focus on ways your organisation can meet Child Safe Standards 1 and 2, and establish a culturally safe environment at every level for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

You must be available for all three sessions to participate.

The first two hour session is suitable for all members of your organisation and runs for two hours online. You will receive an overview of the worldviews, culture, generational trauma and history that need to be incorporated in your practices.

The second session will run for one hour, and take a deeper look at the prejudices and privilege created by racism. This session can be quite emotional but is essential to help you understand the importance of the work.

The final two hour session will look at the practical implementation of the training.

 Please complete the compulsory pre-training materials:
