Ensuring a culturally safe environment

We take cultural safety seriously at Swinburne. Not only because it's our social responsibility but because we know that our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff will excel when their unique cultures and experiences are respected and valued.

To help ensure a culturally safe environment at Swinburne:

• All staff are expected to complete a compulsory Indigenous Cultural Competency online module on commencement

• We are designing an overarching Indigenous Cultural Competency Framework to ensure that different staffing cohorts receive the appropriate type and intensity of Indigenous Cultural Competency training
