Cultural Education

The ‘Hard Questions’ is a series of short videos filled with practical advice, ‘Do’s and Don’ts’, and local experiences from JCU Cultural Mentors based at Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) across northern Queensland. 

The topics of these videos have come directly from registrars involved in JCU’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Awareness Training. In these videos, JCU Cultural Mentors based at Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) across northern Queensland provide responses from their perspectives and relevant to their home Communities.

Special thanks to those involved on the project:

• Project lead JCU General Practice and Rural Medicine Cultural Educator Henry Neill

• The Cultural Mentors who were involved in the video project.
• The JCU Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Team for their support of the project: Associate Professor Catrina Felton Busch, Dr Jacinta Power, Marcy Holdsworth, Raphael Rial, and Andy Gavin for the camera and editing work.

We hope ‘The Hard Questions’ series will support registrars on their general practice training journey and in delivering culturally safe and appropriate care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and communities.
