Workshop details:

Aboriginal employees play a vital role in community-based organisation and human services in Central Australia however there remains a continual underrepresentation of Aboriginal people in the workforce in the sector. This workshop will present findings from research conducted specifically in the community sector in Central Australia. We will hear the perspectives of Aboriginal employees who have worked in the sector in Central Australia and the ideas that have been raised by these employees about what is helpful in supporting Aboriginal staff in organisations and what is not. We will explore how concepts of Country, Family and Law can be recognised in the workplace, how workplaces can support the wellbeing of Aboriginal employees, the importance of relationships of mutuality and teamwork, and the significance of workplaces as places of learning.

The workshop will be interactive and give you a chance to apply the ideas to your own context. The workshop will be presented by two social workers with experience in human services in Central Australia, Yankunytjatjara woman Angela Hampton and Miriam Bevis.
