Competent CAT:
Cultural Awareness Training
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.
