Indigenous Cultural Safety & Awareness Training

At Mob Jobs, we deliver specialised Aboriginal cultural safety and awareness training programs designed to help organisations create workplaces that are respectful, inclusive, and supportive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff. Our programs go beyond basic awareness sessions by equipping employers with the tools and knowledge to embed cultural safety at every level of their business.

Through tailored Indigenous cultural awareness training, we support executives, managers, team leaders, and staff to understand the importance of cultural safety, awareness and sensitivity, and how to apply it in practice. Each training program is designed in line with
workplace policies and procedures identified during our Cultural Safety Audit, ensuring lasting impact and measurable change.

Cultural Safety & Awareness Training Overview

Mob Jobs’ training programs are built around the principle that cultural safety is essential to creating sustainable employment outcomes for First Nations people. We begin with a Cultural Safety Audit to review workplace policies and procedures, identifying gaps or risks that may impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees. The recommendations from this audit inform the development of a tailored Cultural Safety Framework specific to your organisation.

Our Cultural Safety Training sessions are then delivered to executives, managers, and team leaders, with the option to extend the program to all staff. Training content is aligned with your updated workplace policies, ensuring that staff understand their role in supporting cultural safety. Programs include courses and workshops.

Each initial training session is capped at 15 participants to maintain quality, competency and engagement, with additional training available at nominal rates. This tailored approach ensures cultural safety is embedded into both organisational systems and day-to-day workplace culture.

Cultural Safety Audits

The Mob Jobs Cultural Safety Audit is a review of workplace policies and procedures to identify actual or potential impacts on First Nations cultural safety. Mob Jobs delivers an audit report with recommendations to improve cultural safety and that supports
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) implementation. Based on the audit recommendations, we then develop a tailored cultural safety framework that outlines the specific actions to strengthen RAP implementation and ensure a culturally safe workplace for First Nations
employees.

Review Existing Cultural Training Programs

Many organisations already offer Cultural Awareness or Cultural Safety e-Learning modules, which should be regularly reviewed and updated. As a subject matter expert, Mob Jobs can ensure your training content remains accurate, effective, and aligned with your diversity and inclusion policies and cultural safety framework. A comprehensive report with research sources and recommendations is provided. Please request a quote, as pricing depends on the number and length of training programs to be reviewed.

Cultural Safety Training Frequently Asked Questions

Cultural Safety Training is designed to help organisations create workplaces that are respectful, inclusive, and supportive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Unlike general awareness sessions, it focuses on building practical skills and frameworks so staff can apply cultural safety principles in their everyday work.

Aboriginal Cultural Safety Training goes beyond raising awareness — it equips staff and leaders with the knowledge, policies, and tools to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees feel safe, valued, and respected at work. While Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Training or Indigenous Cultural Awareness Training builds understanding of history and culture, cultural safety training focuses on embedding that understanding into workplace practices.

Our training is tailored for executives, managers, and team leaders, as these groups have the most influence on workplace culture and decision-making. However, training can also be extended to all staff to ensure cultural safety is embedded across the whole organisation.

The Cultural Safety Audit is the first step in the process. It reviews your organisation’s policies and procedures to identify potential risks to First Nations cultural safety. The findings are then used to create a tailored Cultural Safety Framework, ensuring that the training delivered aligns with your workplace systems and produces meaningful, long-term change.

Organisations that complete Indigenous Cultural Awareness Training with Mob Jobs can expect stronger staff engagement, better retention of First Nations employees, improved compliance with cultural safety obligations, and greater success in meeting Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) goals. Most importantly, training helps create a more respectful and inclusive workplace culture.

Both in-person and online options are available for remote staff; hybrid sessions require an extra trainer to manage practical activities. Sessions should have 20–25 participants for open discussion, with additional sessions as needed. Training runs four hours or can be split into two two-hour blocks. Participants receive a printed workbook and a merchandise pack, with materials sent to hybrid attendees in advance.
