The important safety measures put in place to restrict the spread of COVID-19 necessitates the postponement of AIDA’s cultural safety training at this time. We look forward to rescheduling as soon as it is safe to do so, and will post updates on our website. We are particularly mindful of minimising any risk of exposure or infection to those in the health profession, and to the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
Our program, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health in Clinical Practice, is clinically focussed and designed to assist medical practitioners integrate cultural safety into their practices to improve healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients. Developed and delivered by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors, our one-day training is enhanced by the unique insights of AIDA members and a range of clinical case studies that have been experienced first-hand by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors.
