Introduction

This stream is for individuals working or intending to work with Indigenous Australian people. Provision is made to enhance knowledge, competence and skills for culturally appropriate practice with diverse Indigenous Australian groups, communities and organisations. The program examines cultural, social, economic, political contexts and issues confronting Indigenous Australian people. The dynamic and complex environment that Indigenous Australian people are positioned within is considered through Indigenous Australian perspectives. This program adopts an approach which embodies principles of social justice in both androgogical processes and intended outcomes, informed by emergent Indigenous Australian critical theory.
