Cultural Awareness Training
MPHN is committed to ensuring that services delivered by our providers, and accessed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, are culturally safe. A component of this commitment is to provide opportunities for MPHN staff, Primary Healthcare providers and MPHN Commissioned service provider staff to access appropriate cultural safety training.
MPHN has engaged the Coolamon Advisor Group to develop a locally specific cultural awareness training program. The training examines past policies and their effects; intergenerational trauma; social determinants of health; and the national agreement on Closing the Gap. On completion of the training, participants will have an increased knowledge of First Nations’ history, culture and health, and have enhanced their skills in working effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Participants will also complete the training with an increased knowledge of strategies and resources that can improve cultural safety within their organisation and their delivered services.
