Aboriginal cultural awareness for workplaces
Learn about Aboriginal experience
Create a safer and more respectful workplace
Grow your Aboriginal workforce
Most workplaces struggle to build support for employing more Aboriginal people
This leaves leaders frustrated by:
People who don’t understand why they should support Aboriginal employment
People who don’t know the history of this country
Time and money wasted on Aboriginal cultural awareness programs that feel good but don’t deliver change
This is because people don’t understand Aboriginal experience and why gaps exist.
Everyone should’ve been taught this at school - but instead it’s your job to create a safer and more respectful workplace.

Not just any Aboriginal Cultural awareness
Designed for workplaces.
The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness for Workplaces is specifically designed to help people learn what they need to know so they can support Aboriginal initiatives. It's designed to be of practical use in the workplace. It's designed to prompt you to ask, how do I need to do things differently in my workplace?
Face-to-face not click-to-click.
It's face to face. So there's an element of interaction. You can't just click through and pass the multiple choice tests at the end. You're in a room with a real-life Aboriginal person, listening to real stories. It's not designed for compliance. It's designed to engage and change minds.
A simple plan for change.
A simple framework is used to support behavioural change. We need more than changed minds. We need changed actions. We must raise the standard to which we hold ourselves and our colleagues. Without commitment to change our behaviours, it won’t make a difference.
The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness for Workplaces session provides a holistic look at Aboriginal cultures, disadvantage and the workplace using an entertaining, and often humorous, presentation which encourages open questioning and discussion.
The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness for Workplaces will cover the following topics:
Rationale for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment initiatives
Aboriginal identity and the Blakworks’ model of Aboriginal experience
Traditional beliefs, values and practices of Aboriginal people in New South Wales
The history of disadvantage faced by Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people
How this history continues to impact on education, employment and other opportunities and outcomes
Acceptable language for referring to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people and communities in workplace contexts
Practical strategies for staff and the organisation to create a culturally safe workplace and contribute to positive Aboriginal employment outcomes
