QCOSS has partnered with Wise Australia to deliver two training modules to support the sector to work more in collaboration with First Nations people, and to understand factors that continue to impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

This workshop will delve into discovering our own bias and take us on a journey in strengthening our cultural capability and approaches to community, First Nation clients, colleagues and employees. 

We will:

• consider cultural safety in the context of specific service delivery areas, including disability, housing and homelessness, and aged care
• examine the ongoing impact of colonisation
• challenge stereotypes
• consider how the Human Rights Act and human rights respecting policy and practice can support cultural safety. 

About the facilitator: Hannah is a proud Aboriginal woman from the Kamilaroi tribe and is the Director and founder of WISE Australia. WISE Australia is First Nations run and owned and is proud to provide a range of services catered to specific organisations with a trauma, DFV and culturally informed approach.
