Course description

This foundation course will advance your knowledge and skills for culturally safe public health practice, when working with First Nations Australian peoples to support community health and wellbeing. Utilising a strengths-based and decolonising lens, the course will explore strategies to enhance health and support the well-being of First Nations communities throughout different stages of life. We will encourage students to self-reflect on cross-cultural interactions to foster culturally safe practices and use critical self-reflexivity skills to analyse their cultural values and privileges when working with First Nations communities. Students will also examine how key historical factors and determinants of health sustain racial health inequities. Central to your learning in this course, is the foregrounding the voices, scholarship, and cultures of First nations peoples.
