Quick Access to the Online Course

for individuals and up to 10 Users

NATSICC has developed a foundational Online Cross Cultural Competency Course for all Catholic workers, volunteers, Clergy and Religious. It is the first ever Cross Cultural training with a Catholic Focus and will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. It is our vision that any point of engagement between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and the Church will have undertaken the Course and possess a foundational knowledge and appreciation of the oldest living Culture in the world. It is hoped that by fostering greater awareness and understanding across cultural boundaries, the Course will lead to the building of more positive relationships and effective outcomes for all people in Australia. "It is the first step on your organisation's journey of knowledge and reconciliation." What is Cultural Competency? At its heart, Cultural Competency is learning about, acknowledging, and valuing the diversity and gifts that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures bring to Australia. On a practical level, Cultural Competence is the ability to work effectively alongside Australia's First Peoples and to make respectful, informed and appropriate decisions across cultural boundaries. What does the Course cover? NATSICC has designed the Course as a universal, foundational step on the learning journey of all workers, volunteers, Clergy and Religious in the Catholic system. It is the first training with a Catholic focus and equips participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. ﷯ How long does it take and how can I access the Course? You can complete the module at your own pace, either in a single sitting or section-by-section as your schedule allows. Set aside 1 hour for the core learnings - much longer if you wish to delve deeper into the additional resources at the end of each section. Your progress will be automatically saved after each session and you can pick up where you left off. Individuals and groups up to 10 can access the course via the button at the top of this page. For larger groups, please contact admin@natsicc.org.au to discuss options. Cost NATSICC has designed the course to be a cost effective option for Catholic Organisations to provide this important training. We are happy to negotiate costings to ensure that the training is attainable for any organisation. 1 - 150 Users : $20pp via the Online Store 151 - 999 Users: $10pp 1000+ Users: $5pp For larger groups of 50+ users, the course can be embedded into existing E- Learning Platforms (file supply fee applicable). Involvement of local Traditional Custodians As mentioned above, the course is the first step on a journey of learning. It is a universal overview of Australia's First People and is not specific to any Language Group. First Nations Culture is a rich tapestry that stretches across Australia. Each language group is unique and holds its own knowledge, belief and cultural systems. NATSICC strongly suggests that the course is complimented by engagement with your local Traditional Custodians Resources and supporting documentation Information sheet - Includes more information on the Course Course Information PowerPoint Course Terms and Conditions
