Creating truly inclusive environments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples requires more than acknowledgment—it demands intentional action, cultural humility, and systemic change. This workshop provides the tools, insights, and practical strategies needed to shift from awareness to meaningful inclusion in workplaces, schools, and communities.

Workshop Highlights:

What is an Inclusive Environment?

Explore the key elements of an inclusive space and why Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples often feel excluded. Understand the difference between diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging.

Breaking Down Barriers to Inclusion

Unpack the systemic, structural, and interpersonal barriers that hinder inclusion. Identify the everyday actions and mindsets that unintentionally exclude Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—and learn how to shift

them.

Building Culturally Safe Spaces

Gain practical strategies to foster cultural safety—ensuring Indigenous peoples feel respected, valued, and empowered to fully participate. Learn how to create workplaces and community spaces where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are not just present but heard and influential.

The Role of Allies in Inclusive Environments

Allyship is an ongoing practice, not a label. Learn how to be an active, effective ally by amplifying Indigenous perspectives, sharing power, and challenging exclusionary norms.

Why Attend?

This workshop is designed for leaders, educators, professionals, and community members who want to move beyond performative inclusion and take real, tangible steps to foster environments where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples feel genuinely

welcome and valued.

What to Expect:

✅ Interactive discussions and real-world case studies

✅ Practical strategies for embedding inclusion into everyday interactions

✅ Self-reflection exercises to assess your current approach

✅ Tools to transform workplaces, schools, and community spaces into truly inclusive environments

🌏 Inclusion is not just an idea—it’s a lived experience. Let’s create spaces where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples don’t just participate, but truly belong.

Tammy Baart

As a proud Boorooberongal Dharug woman I educate, advocate for and enable all individuals to be empowered to exceed their own expectations. Over two decades of executive educational leadership experience has led to an ignited passion and drive to find the gaps in systems so all individuals are provided with the access and opportunity to succeed. Through honouring my culture to decolonise ways of being, doing and knowing, I work to create human-centred and sustainable solutions that leave a legacy everyone can be proud of.

Working across various industries, I bring people together through connection, collaboration and capitalising upon collective wisdom to create transformative workplace cultures through custom learning, development and training needs and building Cultural Intelligence.

“Tammy is a bold and courageous Indigenous woman who has the foresight and vision to push herself and in turn those she works with to greater heights. Understanding the bigger picture while knowing the little things matter is her superpower. The compassion and love she puts into the work she does with young people is contagious and endless.”
