Cultural Planning Practice

The Aboriginal staff in this program use their cultural expertise to provide secondary, and sometimes primary, consultation to DHHS Child Protection and CSO Care Teams.

It is important to acknowledge the diverse nature of Aboriginal culture in this country and how definitions, terminology, cultural practices and symbols can differ considerably across clans, regions and states.

Communicating with different members of an Aboriginal community requires an awareness and understanding of who you're speaking with and their place is within the community.
