- 6. Cultural Practice Program Ithas taken quite a few years, but we have finally achieved the 85% target for completion of Cultural Practice Program!! 4750 staff trained so far, still 851 staff to go. When Rica started in this role in October, 2014, we were sitting under 30% completion, with around 1000 staff trained in cultural practice, and 85% looked unachievable. Thank you to everyone who has participated in facilitating the Cultural Practice Program over the last 5 years. Watch this space for further Cultural Practice Program initiatives in the new year!

The motion was supported by the Opposition and passed through both houses of Parliament. Brendan Nelson (former Leader of the Opposition) gave a formal response. Many members of the Stolen Generations were present in the Chamber to hear the Apology and thousands more filled the Great Hall of Parliament House and flowed out onto the lawns to watch it on big screens. The Apology was broadcast across Australia.

Team work at its best (the team picture at the end of the day two were missing other engagements, see attached). Sincere thanks to you for your idea which has gone a long way to meeting the desired outcome of a culturally appropriate way for gathering information. Three headings are Family , Health and Wishes for the information gathering and links to documents for explanation. •As soon as the prototype is just fined tuned then we will road show it for feedback for any refinements. • Presented by: Lorraine McMurtrie, DON Goondiwindi and lead role in planning and development of the APP

This opportunity is one of its kind and we are excited about the opportunity to present cases and better ways of practice to ensure culturally secure health care services and processes, and set the foundation to build better health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities.
- 61. This year, TheDDHHS Cultural Capability Team trialled the Aboriginal Health Workers Orientation Program. This was to provide a clear understanding of how their role fits into the overall objectives of the Organisation. In order to make advancements so that QH can mature into a culturally capable organisation, employees should ensure their behaviour and performance aligns with the DDHHS values.
- 62. 'The land isour food, our culture, our spirit and identity' Good news, the 2017 work year is over . Soon, you can stop glaring at your snooze button, drawing funny faces on your paperwork and seriously contemplating strapping your colleague to their chair and drape them with tinsel to end the year!! This year has flown by and we cant believe we have packed so much in and even “packed a punch” in some areas! When we think of closing the work year out, we want to do our best in completing all those last minute or lagging jobs/projects and reports . There is nothing like putting a little more pressure on yourself, but just think how great you will feel knowing you’ve completed everything by the deadline and start the new working year off fresh and on a clean slate……..no overdue jobs/projects/reports The Cultural Capability Team congratulates those of you who have gone the extra mile this year and given back to our communities. It doesn’t go un-noted and your efforts have been recognised as essential in our achievements throughout the year. We have seen positive changes, productivity and can only be excited and looking forward to greater successes in 2018. It’s easy to be swept away by the demands of work we do all year and in order to fully enjoy our work, we need to embrace the times when we are not working and give our minds and bodies a chance to relax and recharge. At the risk of burning out and your health and wellbeing is suffering, take ‘time out’ for yourself and enjoy a well deserved break these holidays….Merry Christmas from the Cultural Capability Team
