T1C Understandings and skills for creating culturally safe services: Learnings from an ongoing journey Kathleen Stacey Beyond (Kathleen Stacey & Associates Pty Ltd) Experiencing cultural safety is critical for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians achieving equitable health and wellbeing outcomes. This workshop aims to explore the understandings and skills that speech pathologists need for providing culturally safe services. It also provides an opportunity to share a non-Aboriginal speech pathologist’s journey in learning and integrating these understandings and skills in practice. Health, education and human services professionals usually intend to make a meaningful difference to the quality and life outcomes of people with whom they work. What do we do when this does not eventuate, especially when working with Aboriginal clients and families? The workshop is an opportunity to reflect on what may prevent or enable these intentions being realised. It will assist participants to identify personal and professional development steps they can take for strengthening their capacity to provide culturally safe services. They will also gain an appreciation of the value of comprehensive training in cultural safety as a vital part of this process.
