Trauma-Aware & Healing-Informed Practice for First Nations Providers

  • Mercure Port of Echuca 465 High Street Echuca, VIC (map)

This full-day, in-person workshop for First Nations aged care providers has been developed in consultation with Aunty Vicki Walker – our First Nations Advisor.

Why this matters

Trauma-aware and healing-informed practice recognises that trauma can have a profound and lasting impact on how a person feels, thinks, behaves and relates to others.

The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety identified this approach as something we need more of in aged care. It’s now reflected in:

  • The new Aged Care Act

  • The strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards

  • The Statement of Rights

What this workshop offers

This workshop has been created for Aboriginal aged care providers. It recognises that many workers already support older people who have experienced trauma. These workers have deep expertise rooted in community, culture and care.

Together, through yarning and listening, we’ll create a culturally safe space to:

  • Reflect on the strengths already in your work and community

  • Explore how your current practices align with trauma-aware and healing-informed care

  • Understand how this connects with the language and expectations of aged care regulators.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is for staff working in First Nations aged care providers such as team leaders, co-ordinators, managers, social support and transport workers and clinicians.

This workshop is offered at no cost to CHSP and Support at Home-funded First Nations organisations.
