Effective Pathways to
Cultural Awareness Learning
Our Workshops fill up fast, whether they be Online or in-person.
Our Virtual Workshops are interactive, engaging, full of discussion and feedback. Attendees can ask questions specific to their location or industry, and learn from others in the group. These workshops are capped at 20 attendees so the learning is understood by all.
Those that learn from Aboriginal Insights take their learnings back to their workplace, family and friends, and into their community. Sharing this new understanding of what Reconciliation means and how to put it into practice.
This is how we will make a difference. Providing learnings that give answers to the unasked questions, determine discussion amongst others and result in changes of long term prejudices and restricted thoughts.
Cultural Awareness education doesn’t stop when you have finished the lesson. It is but the start of a journey to make a difference for all Australians.
In-person workshops are held in Perth and the Pilbara. If you would like Jolleen to present in your district, contact info@aboriginalinsights.com.au for more details.
All courses supply Certificates of Attendance.

I highly recommend to every community member and leader to read Jolleen’s book ‘Essential Aboriginal Insights’ and attend her training face to face or online. I have learnt so much from Jolleen and feel determined to do what I can to support change in my role at Zonta House but also in our greater community. Jolleen’s passion, perseverance and determination has been evident in all of our interactions and teachings. My sincere gratitude and thanks for sharing your truths Jolleen, supporting the community and especially workplaces on how we can live in a better world, close the gaps (not just halve them) and why we should all want to live in a reconciled Australia.

Jolleen Hicks is an exceptional leader both within her community and nationally. She is effectively championing and ensuring that entities engage in a culturally appropriate way with Aboriginal people. We engaged Jolleen to deliver her Cultural Insights program to police officers. It was one of the best things we did. Her program has hit the mark in improving Police capability to engage with Aboriginal communities

It is why we do this - with meaning and empathy.

Pathways to Cultural Awareness Learning
Aboriginal Insights is a leading provider in the cultural awareness space. It is not enough to undertake a 1 hr course and state “I know”.
It is an understanding of how we have arrived at this point in time. The beliefs that originated and then changed over the years, and while a great deal of progress has been made, there is still so much more to achieve.
Those that learn from Aboriginal Insights take their learnings back to their workplace, family and friends, and into their community. Sharing 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.
Cultural Awareness education doesn’t stop when you have finished the lesson. It is but the start of a journey to make a difference for all Australians.
Only Aboriginal Insights offers certification for undertaking their Course Protocols. Displaying this badging on your website, shows others that you are committed to making a difference in Closing the Gaps. This is company culture that starts at the top, with leading by example. Your company, your management and your staff all believe and work together to make a difference.
Acknowledgement of Country
I recognise and acknowledge that we live on Aboriginal lands in Australia. I pay my respects to the many separate Aboriginal peoples and their cultures of the lands of this country. I am grateful to yours and my old people for their strength, resilience and survival, so that present and future generations can continue to walk these lands with pride.
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.
My work through Aboriginal Insights is about supporting and empowering respect for Aboriginal people and cultures from across Australia.
