Session Description

Intercultural communication connects people from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. It is pivotal to the provision of culturally safe, respectful and effective healthcare. This three-hour interactive workshop explores concepts and processes that support intercultural communication and facilitate the co-construction of shared understandings. Participants can expect to reflect on the cultural foundations of their own practice and learn communication processes that challenge inaccessible systems and support strong intercultural relationships. The workshop will be co-facilitated by Yolŋu (First Nations Australian people from North-East Arnhem Land) and Balanda (non-Indigenous) researchers and supplementary pre-reading material will be sent out in advance. Attendance at this workshop can be recorded as a cultural safety activity and is eligible for ANZCA CPD points under the practice evaluation - reviewing performance category.
