Description

Utilising Simulation to develop culturally responsive social workers. This project aims to increase cultural responsive practitioners by co-designing a culturally informed simulation centred curriculum program for social work students and field educators focusing on rural and remote experiential learning, a first in Australia. Significance may include increased effective cross-cultural practice; reduced costs of Field Practicum across Australia and increased graduates preparedness. The expected outcome of the project includes decreased burden for Aboriginal communities. Benefits may include enhanced ability of social work graduates to demonstrated knowledge, skills, and values required for culturally responsive social work practice and decreased disparity for Aboriginal Peoples.. Scheme: Discovery Indigenous. Field: 4504 - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Wellbeing. Lead: Prof Bindi Bennett
