The Workforce Capability Framework has released resources created specifically to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers and to support participants in receiving culturally relevant and respectful care.

During the development of these resources, a Yarning Circle was conducted, facilitated by Coolamon Advisors and including representatives from Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations and the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation.

Throughout the drafting and review process, Coolamon Advisors were consulted, as were a group of people who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. The final resources were sent to the Yarning Circle participants and are available online now.
