Question Title

* 6. Training type - Core capabilities - select as many as required

Foundation (basic) - Foundation cultural capabilities are the baseline capabilities for all employees, regardless of their
role, function, agency, or classification. These are the essential cultural capabilities for all employees.

Leadership - Leadership is a practice rather than a position and it can be practised at all levels. The leadership
capabilities are important in setting organisational direction and managing workplace culture.

Question Title

Community Engagement - Employees who work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities will
achieve better outcomes if engagement, consultation, and negotiation are culturally informed.

Individual Service Delivery - The 'individual service delivery' cultural capabilities support effective interactions and communication with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples aimed at improving service delivery.

Policy formulation - The 'policy formulation' cultural capabilities target employees responsible for developing policy
that may impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. The impact may be direct or indirect.

Program delivery - The 'program delivery' cultural capabilities provide a base level for employees developing, delivering and contract managing programs. Specific local knowledge and insights may also be needed to be effective in this work.

Research - 'Research' cultural capabilities help employees take a culturally informed approach to the research method, publication, evaluation, and management of outcomes.

Community based planning - This capability acknowledges that community decision-making may require time and resources
for the community to undertake internal consultation, independent information gathering and planning.
