Cultural Safety Statement

The public-facing cultural safety statement — for your website, service agreement, and shared spaces.

Cultural safety is defined by the person receiving the service, not the person delivering it. This is the participant-facing version of cultural commitment — shorter and more declarative than the internal Cultural Safety Policy in the Foundation Policies Pack.

Includes Acknowledgement of Country, named commitments covering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, CALD and LGBTIQ+ participants, and 'what this looks like in practice' section. Designed to be displayed on your website, in your office, and as a section in your participant onboarding pack.

Pairs with the internal Cultural Safety Policy (Foundation Policies Pack, document 08).

What's included

• 3-page Cultural Safety Statement (editable .docx)
