Activity details
The Victorian Government is delivering the Strengthening Cultural Safety in The Orange Door project.
The Orange Door network provides a visible and accessible entry point for family violence services, child and family services and men’s/perpetrator services. Aboriginal people seeking support have the option to access an Aboriginal led service. Aboriginal Practice Leaders and Aboriginal Practitioners have been funded and recruited in each area.
Implementation progress update
Family Safety Victoria has been working with VACCA and local Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCOs) to deliver the Strengthening Cultural Safety in The Orange Door project. Lead ACCOs in each area employ Cultural Safety Project Leaders to facilitate processes to improve cultural safety. This includes foundational cultural awareness training for staff, consistent cultural safety assessment processes across The Orange Door network and development of local action plans.
It also includes learning processes to support both individual worker and organisational cultural safety learning and development.
