This podcast is so excellent. I’m about to start working at RDH, and I’m so excited to learn about aboriginal culture. This podcast has given me some really excellent strategies to communicate with my patients.
Apple Podcasts5NoelleEllaAustralia5 years ago - Should be mandatory listening esp. in the Northern Territory
I wish we had a version for professionals in every industry and for everyone engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. So much to think about. So well explained. Easy to listen to. The specialists have been very open in answering the questions so we can all learn.
