Online Training – ‘Introduction to Cultural Competence’

We also offer content customisation to match your organisational training requirements. Contact Anni Tillack-Benton for more details.

Why should I do cultural competence training? 

N

Be able to respond to Australia's increasing diversity.

As Australia’s population becomes increasingly diverse and has more complex needs, our services and programs need to be able to provide high quality services to a range of people from migrant and refugee backgrounds.  One of the first steps to achieve this is by building a culturally responsive workforce.

Improve communication with your diverse clients

By being culturally competent, you will have a heightened awareness of your own cultural bias and lens. This means you have a better chance at understanding the needs of your clients and their own unique cultural backgrounds.

Increase quality of your services

You will improve the quality of your services as you increase your understanding of your clients’ needs and improve communication. Past participants of our training have reported that they are able to incorporate cultural competence into their practice and have improved rapport with their clients.
