Aussie Childcare Network Forum

This question is really confusing me....It says what are some of the cultural realities that need to be addressed to facilitate full participation in service delivery by Aboriginal and or Torres Strait Islander people.My answers were along these lines....loss of cultural identity family fragmentation poor nutrition...just not sure that is what I am being asked.

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:
