Cultural Safety and Equity in Healthcare (First Nations Focus)
Building Respectful and Inclusive Care for First Nations Peoples
Delivering safe and equitable healthcare begins with cultural understanding. For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, experiences with healthcare and support systems have been shaped by history, culture, and trust. As a support worker, recognising these factors is key to providing care that is respectful, inclusive, and empowering.
The Cultural Safety and Equity in Healthcare (First Nations Focus) course by 2Skill equips disability and aged care workers with the knowledge to engage respectfully with First Nations participants. It helps you understand the importance of cultural identity, communication, and connection to community — ensuring every person feels valued and understood.
What You’ll Learn in This Course
This course offers practical guidance on how to apply cultural safety principles in your daily work. You’ll explore:
The meaning of cultural safety and why it matters in healthcare
Key aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, values, and worldviews
How to communicate with respect and build trust with First Nations participants
Strategies to create inclusive and culturally responsive environments
Recognising and addressing unconscious bias in the workplace
How cultural competence supports better health and wellbeing outcomes
Each module encourages reflection, helping you understand your own role in promoting equity and cultural respect.
Why Cultural Safety Matters in Care
For support workers and NDIS providers, cultural safety is more than awareness — it’s about action. When care services are delivered with cultural respect, participants feel safe, empowered, and supported in their identity.
Understanding and respecting First Nations perspectives not only enhances quality of care but also strengthens relationships and community trust. It’s a vital step toward reconciliation and achieving equity across Australia’s healthcare system.
