Solutions

Education

Our evidence-based courses include topics like cultural safety and self-determination, healing, wellbeing, cultural safety and HR, cultural safety and accreditation.

Overview

Our professional development courses turn confusion into clarity.

Through our courses, we teach individuals and organisations to:

embed practices that create culturally safe workplaces
strengthen relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples

More than cultural awareness, our courses challenge learners to:

examine racism, whiteness and institutional power
re-imagine systems through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination

Grounded in adult-learning principles, our courses move participants:

from awareness to action
from charity to sovereignty
from reflection to transformation

We teach long-term confidence and professional growth. Learners routinely report going away with clarity, confidence and practical solutions!

Cultural safety is being embedded in standards that accredit and monitor training across the health professions in Australia, partly as a result of ABSTARR’s work with the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS).
