Ahpra considers that being an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person is a genuine occupational requirement for this position. This position is only open to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants in accordance with relevant Commonwealth, State and Territory legislation.
Ahpra, in collaboration with 15 National Boards, administers the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (the National Scheme) to ensure that all registered health practitioners in Australia – such as doctors, nurses, and dentists - are well-trained, qualified, and safe to practice.
Central to our efforts is the development of a culturally safe and respectful health workforce, one that acknowledges the rich healing traditions of Indigenous Australians, spanning more than 65,000 years, and addresses current disparities in healthcare access and safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Over the past seven years, we have been dedicated to making culturally safe practice a standard in healthcare and are committed to ensuring patient safety for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the future.
Reporting to and supported by the National Director Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People and Culture Programs, the Senior Manager will lead and be accountable for the development, implementation, evaluation and effective management of Ahpra’s Cultural Safety training, support, and advice activities.
The Senior Manager will design, develop, and deliver new foundational cultural safety training programs for Ahpra staff, Executive, and board members, as well as creating and implementing programs aimed at supporting team leaders and managers within Ahpra to drive cultural safety change within their teams. This role will also support various operations and initiatives across Ahpra, including internal cultural safety activities, external training partners, community presence events, and other internal projects as they develop. The Senior Manager will collaborate with the Learning and Development team to build and enhance training content and work closely with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Strategy Unit (HSU) in the Strategy and Policy directorate to ensure consistency across our strategic goals and services.
The programs of work will interact with organisational capability, business partnering, employee services and health, safety and wellbeing functions to support anti-racism and cultural safety objectives for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers. The role develops Ahpra’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to build a culturally safe, positive, engaging workplace free of racism.
