JCTS Cultural Educators

JCTS employs Cultural Educators in every state across Australia, who are situated in our regional teams.

A Cultural Educator is a member of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. In some instances, a Cultural Educator will also work as a Cultural Mentor.

Cultural Educators are responsible for the delivery of cultural orientation, cultural awareness and safety training, and supporting registrars to provide culturally appropriate, responsive and sensitive healthcare to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

They work closely with Medical Educators to support quality and holistic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and clinical practice training.

They also work with Cultural Mentors to support registrars to develop cultural competency by providing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural and health education, including cultural safety training.
