Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop an understanding of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultural identity.
It requires the ability to understand factors affecting the cultural identity of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people.
The unit applies to individuals who intend to work with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people.
The use of the word Aboriginal throughout this document refers to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. In this unit the term Aboriginal is used in keeping with the current policy of the NSW Government and the NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group Incorporated. Indigenous Australians is the collective term used by the Commonwealth Government to refer to Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people. Educators need to confirm what terminology is accepted by local communities and must demonstrate sensitivity to Aboriginal issues and cultures.
This unit recognises that there is no single Aboriginal Culture and that Aboriginal individuals and communities are diverse. Protocols must therefore be identified according to the local context.
“No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication”.
