Tipara waranta kani nina-tu / Cultural Competency Training
tipara waranta kani nina-tu is an initiative of the TAC to improve Cultural Safety for Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
This Aboriginal community controlled and delivered Cultural Competency Training program provides comprehensive knowledge of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people, our history and continuing culture. It encourages understanding of Aboriginal rights and provides the context for the delivery of culturally appropriate services for Aboriginal people.
tipara waranta kani nina-tu is for anyone who employs, works alongside or engages with Aboriginal people and community. It is also for individuals and businesses whose products and services are directed towards or feature Tasmanian Aboriginal people, history or culture.
This training program is ran by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre, the only statewide Aboriginal community controlled organisation providing a wide range of services and representing the political and community development aspirations of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people since the early 1970s.
