Acknowledgement of Country

MCCGC acknowledges the people who are the traditional custodians of the land,

pays respect to Elders, past and present, and extends that respect to other Aboriginal

and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Introduction

Australia and its workplaces have such a wealth of diversity and it is important to acknowledge not only the benefits of this but how we can work better at cross cultural communication. We need though to understand that ‘culture’ is fluid, flexible and dynamic. It changes and we need to limit stereotypes and general comments that all Australians are… or all people from X are Y. It may or may not always be the case as culture shifts across time and experience and a colleague could identify with several cultures.

This training will look at culture in terms of your Awareness, Knowledge and consider applications in your workplaces and services that you can use so you can be more inclusive workers.
