**THE ROLE**
The Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Advisor provides advice to and builds awareness of Child Protection practitioners working with Aboriginal children and engages with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and community services organisations to improve outcomes through progression of self-determination reforms for Aboriginal children, families, and communities. While the role does not develop cultural plans, it provides important cultural expertise and guidance which supports child protection practitioners with the cultural planning process, and cultural plan compliance. This crucial role enables Aboriginal children to remain connected to community, build resilience and support them remaining with family.
The role will also focus on area improvement and implementation processes, aligning outcomes to relevant divisional policies and processes.
**ACCOUNTABILITIES INCLUDE**
- Child centred and family focused relationship-based practice - focuses on the Aboriginal child and incorporates the family kinship groups and community in maintaining a child's cultural connection and self-identity.
- Collaboration - engages and consults with Aboriginal children and their families, Aboriginal Elders, Foster and Kinship carers, other practitioners and teams, agencies, services, and the community, in order to deliver the best outcomes for Aboriginal children and Aboriginal families.
- Works hand in hand with Child Protection, attending care team or other meetings to provide advice on the development of cultural plans and to progress self-determination reforms.
- Knowledge sharing - exchanging critical information with Aboriginal families and both internal and external stakeholders, to ensure shared understanding, and timely and appropriate action for Aboriginal clients.
