Cultural Awareness Training for Government Departments & Agencies
It is widely recognised the collective contributions we as individuals, businesses and leaders need to enact to participate in ‘Closing the Gap’.
To have on-the-ground meaningful difference, we as leaders need to promote Cultural Awareness Training to expand the values and beliefs of different cultures and obtain a respectful understanding of our history.
By doing so, we as communities from different backgrounds can work together quickly. Lack of cultural awareness impacts crucial decisions and ultimately health outcomes.
Carbal’s Cultural Awareness Training (CAT) online education package was developed through meeting community need across Australia.
Course Overview
Carbal’s Cultural Awareness Training (CAT) is an 8-hour online interactive course that provides the practical tools for Government Departments and Agencies, Health Professionals, General Practice, Individuals and Businesses to better deliver culturally-competent services to their stakeholders.
Most often Cultural Awareness Training is delivered face-to-face, however to broaden the scope of delivery and be accessible right now, in the right location, at the right time; this online dynamic education package has been developed.
The course is interactive with quizzes, reflections and videos and has the added benefit of being self-paced.
