Are you looking for Cultural Awareness Training that actually will make a difference to your workplace, your employees, and the community they work with?
Our Protocol Pathways Cultural Awareness education provides the framework where Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can meet, talk openly and learn respect for each other on many levels.
Aboriginal Insights is a leading provider in the Cultural Awareness Training space. It is not enough to undertake a one-off short course and believe they know enough to achieve outcomes relating to Aboriginal People; or state that they have worked with Aboriginal People for years.
This belief is part of why we have failed in Aboriginal Affairs for 30 years. We need all levels of workplaces from Boards to Senior Leadership, to everyone else, to commit to and be supported to undertake ongoing cultural education. The space of cultural education has been evolving and the opportunities to gain essential lessons, learnings, and tools that work, are more today, than 5 years ago.
An essential part of your cultural awareness training must include Understanding how we have arrived at this point in time – gaps of inequalities, commitments to respond to these gaps, commitments to build respect and relationships, commitments to provide employment and business opportunities, etc.
Those that learn from Aboriginal Insights take their learnings back to their workplace, family, friends, and into their community. They are encouraged to share this new understanding of what Reconciliation means and how to put it into practice.
This is how we will make a difference. Not a tick the box – short course but learnings that provide answers to the unasked questions, determine discussion amongst others and result in changes of long-term prejudices and restricted thoughts. We all have two lenses that influence how we view the world – a personal lens influenced by our family values, beliefs, and attitudes; and a professional lens influenced by our professional experiences and environments. We must commit to developing a third lens to make an impact in Aboriginal Affairs – an Aboriginal Community lens. We need to be able to recognise and respect the need to apply this third lens to matters related to Aboriginal People.
Cultural Awareness education doesn't stop when you finish the lesson. it is but the start of a journey to make a difference to all Australians.

Only Aboriginal Insights offers three levels of cultural education described as Protocols. Guidelines that explain the correct conduct and procedures to be followed when engaging with Aboriginal People's.
Aboriginal Insights provides Cultural Awareness Training for all organisations large and small. Our Cultural Awareness 101 online learning course takes the student on a journey of understanding common cultural differences of Aboriginal Peoples to encourage the learning of the unique lived experiences and cultural identities of individuals, and families.
All students complete the course with an understanding of why the one size fits all approach does not work, and what they need to learn to determine the best way to engage or build respect and relationships with an Aboriginal person.
Cultural Awareness Learnings that have impact.
Only Aboriginal Insights offers certification for undertaking their Course Protocols. Displaying this badging on your email signature shows others that you have completed Aboriginal Insights cultural education to that level. To display the badging on your company or organisation website or documents, you show that your workplace has made a significant commitment to providing Aboriginal Insights education to your workplace.
To influence your workplace culture to have respect for Aboriginal People and cultures and create a Culturally Safe workplace requires a commitment to offering cultural education to a significant number of your employees or everyone. One or two people will not make the impact needed. We are here to support your workforce through our Protocols.

I personally recognise my Elders and thank them for their courage, strength, and spirit that they continue to walk with to inspire us younger ones.
