This discussion paper was developed to introduce key themes and messages identified during initial consultations with the profession and community stakeholders in 2019. The paper provides an overview of the impacts, needs, and considerations of cultural competency within the context of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education to stimulate thought and conversation.
Please note that the term ‘cultural competence’ is contentious and viewed by many as ambiguous, inadequate and inappropriate. The term was used as ‘working terminology’ for the project.
A final report for the project was released in 2022.
