Hi,
Could someone please point me in the right direction of this question please

What are 12 current cultural realities that need to be addressed to facilitate full participation in service delivery by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander clients and/or co-workers?

Thank you :)

I think this questions refers to being culturally aware of the history, customs, practices etc, and using this knowledge to support service delivery to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. For example:
Acknowledgement of land and original custodians and Welcome to Country
When organising a meeting, event or conference, it is respectful and good practice to acknowledge the land in which you are meeting and its original custodians.


More information on the above (page 14) can be found in the following:

Hope this helps,
