Introduction
Our vision is to enable thriving places and connected communities. As the Department of Transport and Planning Portfolio, we all own this vision and its outcomes.
Our First Peoples cultural safety framework supports our vision.
We’re committed to applying and supporting First Peoples self determination and cultural safety in our work.
The purpose of our First Peoples cultural safety framework is to increase safety for First Peoples who:
- Use the Transport and Planning systems
- Work within the Transport and Planning Portfolio
- Traditional Owners and First Peoples Community who engage with the portfolio.
We developed the framework by doing:
- A research paper focusing on
- racism
- unconscious bias
- best practice in building cultural competence in workforces.
- An audit of transport portfolio policies, programs, and training relevant to First Peoples
- A Registered Aboriginal Parties workshop
- Interviews with First Peoples and senior executive transport portfolio employees
- A Transport Portfolio First Peoples and non-First Peoples employee survey
- A Transport Portfolio First Peoples Staff Network survey.
