Assignment:

Activity 1: Traditional Custodians

Carry out research to find out who the Traditional Custodians are or who the registered Aboriginal Party is in the area (Botany-NSW) and the language spoken. --> the traditional lands of the Gweagal and Kameygal people. They are part of the larger Aboriginal group known as the Dharawal people.

Activity 2: Local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community presentation

Using the information, you have already gathered about the local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community and by conducting further internet research or talking with key community members to find out more, make a presentation about cultural safety and why it is important to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The presentation must be approximately 3-to-5 minutes in duration and cover the following topics:

• What is cultural safety?
• Why is cultural safety important for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?
• What does the organisation already do to contribute to strengthening of cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?
• What other strategies could the organisation apply to further develop and strengthen their cultural safety practices?
• Where can you find out more to build the capacity of the organisation to be a culturally safe organisation?

To support your presentation, make a presentation in PowerPoint (or in another presentation tool such as Prezi, Google slides or Canva) and a fact sheet (covering all the listed topics).

Your Trainer and Assessor will check you have:

• explained what is meant by cultural safety
• identified why it is important for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - i.e. talked about the negative impacts of past Government policies and practices on Aboriginal peoples and current factors that impact on the community
• culturally safe practices already in place at the organisation (you may include the organisation's cultural safety plan, if they have one)
• your ideas for strengthening cultural safety
• where you can find out more information to build the organisation's capacity to be a culturally safe organisation - i.e. professional networks, agencies, peak bodies, organisations, community leaders and/or publications etc.
