In this subject, you will acknowledge the Wominjeka (Woi-wurrung word for welcome) to the country of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation - the traditional custodians of the land on which the Parkville campus of the University of Melbourne is situated. You will be immersed in a learning culture that embraces and respects Indigenous worldviews of health offered by the Wurundjeri Peoples and fostered by the Indigenous teaching team.
You will be guided on a journey of self-reflection and critical inquiry to conceptualise Indigenous worldview on health, and the philosophy and essential practice principles of cultural safety in the context of healthcare for Australian Indigenous Peoples. You will gain the foundational knowledge required for ethical and culturally responsive nursing practice and awareness of the skills required to engage authentically and partner with Indigenous Peoples. The concepts of self-reflection, holistic and ethical nursing practice, culture and cultural safety, power and privilege, racism, self-determination and the role of nursing advocacy will be critiqued and you will be required to demonstrate your understanding of how this positions you to deliver culturally responsive nursing care to Indigenous Australians in the future.

2. Description
In this subject we have examined the role of culture in the social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and in implementing a patient-centred approach to your nursing practice. We have reflected on the impact of colonisation and past healthcare and community service policies and practices to make sense of the directions for the future.
‘Cultural safety is an outcome of nursing and midwifery education that enables safe service to be defined by those that receive the service and is achieved when the recipients of care deem the care to be meeting their cultural needs’ (Ramsden, 2002:117).
Reflective practice and self-awareness are the critical foundations for achieving cultural safety in the context of nursing practice. In this assessment task you are required to demonstrate your reflective practice skills and your cultural self-awareness to articulate your developing cultural awareness. You are required to reflect on your own culture and worldview of health and rationalise how this positions you to partner effectively with Indigenous healthcare consumers in the future. You are required to apply the theory of cultural safety and professional practice to demonstrate your capacity to apply the subject learnings to the context of your future nursing practice and life long journey towards achieving cultural safety in healthcare for Indigenous Peoples.
