This subject will provide students with the foundational knowledge in Indigenous Australian Studies from which to build their knowledge and skills to enhance the students ability to work effectively with Indigenous Australian peoples across the criminal justice system. The subject takes into consideration the recommendations and findings from The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and applies a framework to support the development of Indigenous cultural competence. Students will examine the diversity of Indigenous Australian cultures, historical contexts and contemporary social realities that affect access to justice for Indigenous peoples in Australia. Through this examination students will gain an understanding of Indigenous community protocols and develop strategies to work effectively in Indigenous contexts related to criminal justice practice.
