STA Staff  Professional Development: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Competence online course.

The course helps staff increase our knowledge and understanding of the history and culture of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples. It is the only online nationally accredited course in Australia. 

The course was developed for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians and for people living and working anywhere within Australia. Whether you are delivering services specifically to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples, or someone working with the general public, or you just want to know more about the history and culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples we live with. 

As a staff we are looking forward to working together to complete the course over the next two terms. 

Kind regards

Marie
