Submission to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Strategy Group: definition of cultural safety

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Strategy Group (Strategy Group)1, convened by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the National Health Leadership Forum (NHLF) are consulting on a proposed definition of “cultural safety”. The intent is to develop an agreed, national baseline definition that can be used as a foundation for embedding cultural safety across all functions in the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) and for use by the NHLF.

The proposed definition of cultural safety, on which feedback is sought, is:

Cultural safety is the individual and institutional knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies needed to deliver optimal health care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as determined by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, families and communities.

Feedback is sought on the following five questions in relation to this definition. ��˾��’s (UA’s) response to these questions has been developed in consultation with UA’s Health Professions Education Standing Group (HPESG).
