About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102309 - Understanding Indigenous Australian Community Service. Learning through Indigenous Australian Community Service will provide students with an exciting opportunity to apply their disciplinary knowledge and skills in an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian cultural context. Students will negotiate a project with an Indigenous community and undertake a ten (10) day / fifty (50) hour placement. Students will gain cross cultural awareness and insights as well as knowledge about Indigenous community affairs including cultural protocols, decision-making and leadership. This experience will provide students with a level of cultural understanding and competency that can lead to improved communication skills and effective partnering with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, organisations and communities.
