Working with First Nations: Delivering on the Priority Reforms [1]

[]

Date: 2025-05 

Public servants need new skills and capabilities to work in genuine partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and engage in the transformation of government organisations – which all Australian governments have committed to in the National Agreement on Closing the Gap.

Capabilities such as: cultural responsiveness, engagement, co-design and co-production, place-based community development, and supporting communities to access, own and use data.

This program will guide participants through the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, demonstrate these skills and how to apply them in their everyday work. It includes a session on each of the Agreement’s four Priority Reforms, bookended by a history of First Nations policy in Australia and a ‘bringing it all together’ session.

Adopting the Canadian Two-Eyed Seeing approach, the program aims to respectfully recognise and embed the strength of Indigenous and non-Indigenous worldviews.

For a taste of the themes covered in this program, watch the following ‘Starting your journey to working with First Nations’ presentation. This video is free to watch and share.
