Cultural Safety for all Australians
The National Centre for Cultural Competence defines cultural awareness in two ways– first, it pertains to understanding, recognising, and appreciating similarities and differences between different cultures. Second, it involves seeing how a person’s culture affects their behaviours. To be competitive in a diverse work environment and thrive in a global world, you must understand and appreciate different cultures.

Real stories
“I was keen to increase my understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The Evolve program gave me practical tools and strategies like when and how to give an Acknowledgement of Country. I increased my knowledge in some unexpected areas too, including about privilege. I highly recommend working with Evolve to anyone who values reconciling what has happened in the past and positively impacting how we move forward.”
Adelaide ThompsonCampaign Unit Manager, Cancer Council NSW
“Working with Evolve has been a great partnership towards increasing our organisational cultural awareness at a national level. The tailored programs are highly interactive and experiential. I have observed our staff walking away with increased levels of confidence, understanding and inspiration and often with the positive exclamation ‘best training ever’.”
Adrian CheathamAssistant Director, Workplace Diversity Team Australian Taxation Office
“I loved connecting with local Aboriginal people at the Evolve program. Together we are now ‘Taking the Bull by the Horns’ on employment strategies for people with a disability. “
David GreelyEmployment Connections Manager WorkAbility
“I was asked about why all Aboriginal people drive Valiants. We all laughed, as I explained that Aboriginal people are as diverse as any other and that I drove an MGB sports car. My co-convenor, an older Noongar woman, was relieved that she didn’t get the question as she drove a Valiant! You can imagine the hilarity that followed”.
“As Evolve Communities have taught iAccelerate, Aboriginal Songlines are essentially knowledge networks that enable the communication of ideas to flow back and forth between two or more locations and serves as the perfect model for innovation ecosystems”
