The development of CALD cultural competencies in the health sector includes recognising culture as a determinant of health status and recognising the need for a culturally competent workforce to address issues of equity and cultural safety of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) groups. CALD cultural competence focuses on the skills, behaviours and attitudes required for working with CALD migrant and refugee communities from Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, African and European countries.
These are all our courses for health practitioners who are interested in gaining skills to work with CALD patients. It provides insight and understanding on cultural dimensions, how different cultures respond to health-related situations, different health concepts, faith-based practices, and differences in expectations from health systems.
These courses are for clinical or non-clinical staff who are interested to gain insight and understanding of value dimensions that cause barriers to effective cross-cultural interaction and skills to enable effective working relationships in a culturally diverse workplace.
These courses will help learners gain insight and understanding about what is required to be culturally competent, as well as with practical skills to provide effective interpreting services in the health sector.
This training programme is for clinicians interested in developing cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD) competence in a psychiatric context. The programme comprises four self-directed, self-paced e-learning modules.
