Cultural Safety

All supervisors role-model cultural safety in practice. It is your role to continually improve your understanding of cultural safety, to engage the skills and expertise of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander health professionals in your work, and to seek professional development opportunities related to cultural safety.
