Aboriginal culturally responsive recruitment in early education
Resources
Building a culturally safe and inclusive workplace is a critical step in growing the Aboriginal workforce in the early childhood sector.
This resource has been created to support and guide early childhood services as they recruit, retain, and support Aboriginal staff. Whether your service is Aboriginal-led or working to strengthen its cultural responsiveness, this resource will support your journey.
It is intended as a resource for managers, team leaders, and those responsible for workforce development to reflect on their current practices and create a more culturally inclusive workplace.
The Practice Guide: Aboriginal Culturally Responsive Recruitment in Early Education (linked below) can be used in various settings within your organisation.
It may be helpful during senior management meetings, workforce planning sessions, team discussions, or staff performance appraisals. Use it as a flexible resource to spark thinking and guide your approach to building a culturally responsive workforce strategy.
